[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many ES in FCPS have 2 classes per grade? We are at Fox Mill, which is pretty small, and have 4 classes per grade. There are about 600 kids at the school. I am pretty certain it is one of the smaller ES in FCPS, but a quick google search is not bringing up just an easy breakdown of kids per school.

Honestly, I would be surprised if there are too many schools that are under 400 kids.

But I believe that all ES are suppose to have a Local Level IV program by 2023-2024. [/quote]

Fox Mill is functionally two classes per grade, though. There are two classes of Japanese Immersion, two classes of regular English. I suppose you could mix them on the English side, but immersion students take math and science in Japanese. [/quote]

Hit submit too soon! There are a decent percentage of schools out there with under 400 - Armstrong, Beech Tree, Bucknell, Garfield, Graham Road, Mount Eagle, etc, and even more just above the line. This link is sort of crappy, but it allows you to figure it out in an unpleasant manual fashion. http://schoolprofiles.fcps.edu/schlprfl/f?p=108:42:181041989028::NO:RP:P42_DETAIL,P0_EDSL:,0

I question whether or not a school has a large enough cohort of kids with 120+ IQ (or even 115+ IQ) that it can set up a meaningful equivalent to the current AAP locally. I suspect it can't. Nationally, fewer than 20% of kids have an IQ of 115, around 10% have 120. These percentages are higher in FCPS, but the number isn't evenly distributed, by any means. [/quote]
