[quote=Anonymous]My experience is from before the pandemic, so it might be out of date.

Mosaic is not a good AAP center, and you should stay local if you have a LLIV.  My experience is that almost all of the projects were just making google slide shows.  The kids spent an entire month before SOLs doing 'SOL bootcamp.'   The AAP classes still used a model of math instruction where the kids rotated through centers, rather than having any whole class instruction or differentiation.  For both reading and math, the teachers catered to the kids who didn't belong in AAP and were behind, rather than providing any extensions to the kids who needed it.  Both 5th and 6th grade AAP math were just gen ed math given a year earlier and not a true AAP class with enrichment and extensions to the material.

The principal likes to restrict parent access as much as possible.  The PTA was very anemic, because no one wanted to deal with the principal.  There were few to no afterschool enrichment activities, other than ones offered by paid vendors.  If you email the principal, expect your email to be ignored.  They initially refused to give me my kid's iready scores, and I had to escalate to get them.

Now, with the extensive construction at the school, it's a no brainer to stay local if your school has a LLIV.  [/quote]
