[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have heard anecdotally that it’s harder this year. Don’t worry too much. Your kid will be fine either way. I have two older in aap and my current second grader won’t be and I think she will do just as fine as the older two. [/quote]

NP here. This year’s decisions aren't harder, they make absolutely no sense. Somehow, FCPS managed to make a complete disaster of the AAP admission process in the span of 2 short years. [/quote]

DS was accepted 2 years ago and people were complaining about the process and who was accepted. The complaints happen every year regardless of the process. And yes, there were kids with high test scores not accepted then as well.[/quote]

Yeah, I have an older child who was accepted 3 years ago and people complained then as well, but not for the reasons we’re complaining today. High score rejections were outliers then, now they’re the norm. Further, they’ve given enormous power to local elementary schools to determine various standards set in this holistic application process and they’re basically making it up with no standard set by the county. This has been a major shift in a long-established AAP application process and the kids these past 2 years are the experiment. It’s absurd and it’s hard to find a topic that will get me more riled up than messing with my kids’ education.  [/quote]
