[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Moved to FCPS several years ago when oldest was in 6th grade. Qualified for AAP based on some IQ test they took in previous school district, but deferred AAP services until 7th grade (pyramid school was AAP center) because didn't want to change schools in the middle of the year. ES then wasn't an AAP center. Middle kid (2 years younger) didn't qualify for AAP but took all honors in middle school. They both ended up at TJ and doing well. My youngest (1st grade) attends a high performing ES at an AAP center, but I don't have any experience on how the AAP process works as I didn't have kids that started at FCPS this young. It just seems stressful with parents getting testing done independently etc. Is AAP in elementary and middle really necessary for students to be prepared for and be successful in high school AP classes, honors etc? [/quote] AAP is mostly a way to segregate kids into groups of those who value school and those who don't care.[/quote] And that’s why it’s necessary.[/quote]
