[quote=Anonymous]DD is in 3rd grade AAP at Colvin Run, next door to your Churchill, similar expectations.  Homework is: reading comprehension assignment  (20 min), 2-3 math homework worksheets, in addition to 20+min nightly reading.  None of it can be done in advance, or modulated by your child's activity schedule.  It is a must-do-nightly thing.

As other posters said...  I wouldn't count on admission, regardless of what program you are coming from.  Churchill parents, please chime in.  I'd expect to get in at Churchill the test scores are all >99% (CoGAT, iReady, etc.) and that your kid's work samples are really top notch.  We moved to FCPS when my DS was headed into 5th.  I thought his >>99% scores would be enough.  Nope.  Ha.  All of those sections in the application that they tell out of town parents are "optional" are NOT OPTIONAL.  I honestly think they like to disqualify the out-of-towners.  It's easy for them given the competition from kids (i.e. parents) already here.  If you are serious, you need to be talking to Churchill's AART and collecting/ prompting really good work samples now.  The test scores are a minimum, but the other portions are also a must.  This forum is a great resource for filling out the parent referrals, work samples, etc., so you're one step ahead already. Consider this like a college application.  The other parents at Churchill AAP certainly did.[/quote]
