[quote=Anonymous]FCPS AAP process is not intense, some parents make it intense but it really isn't. Kids take the NNAT in 1st grade and the CoGAT in 2nd grade. The top 10% at each school, based on those test scores, are in-pool and will have packets built for them regardless of what their parents may do. Parents can submit a referral for their child, if they do, the school puts together a packet. A Central Committee meets sometime in March to review the packets and selects kids for LIV.

Now, there are schools were the parents are crazy and think LIV is everything and that it is 100% necessary to get into TJ to get into MIT. Those are the ones who tend to post on the AAP board. The other crazy parents are the ones who bought in a Title 1 boundary and are shocked that the ES is not great for their kid. Then LIV is the end all and be all to change schools without having to give up the bigger house and yard in a less desirable school boundary.

Plenty of FCPS schools have LLIV programs that are solid and without crazy parents. We are at a school were most of the parents don't send their kids to the Center and he kids are clustered, like APS. [/quote]
