[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can look up the numbers for the past 3 years for any elementary school in FCPS.
https://schoolprofiles.fcps.edu/schlprfl/f?p=108:13:::::P0_CURRENT_SCHOOL_ID,P0_EDSL:017,0
For the 2023-24 school year Colvin Run had: 548 General Education Students
181 Level IV AAP Students
179 Level II, III AAP Students
29 English Language Learners
152 Special Education Students

But this doesn’t tell you anything about whether non-AAP IV students are in the AAP IV classes. At Colvin Run there are three general education classes, and two AAP IV classes. AAP III kids rotate in for math but otherwise the classrooms are self contained outside of specials. 
I had never considered that some of the kids in the AAP IV classes were actually principal placed.
If a kid is principal placed, do you as a parent know this? Like you get the no from central AAP and then end up in one of the AAP classes anyway? Or do you get a yes like everyone else and never know it was a principal placement?[/quote]

This can help by looking up the specific elementary schools where your kids would be zoned if you move.  If the school is a center school has less than the number of kids to make one class per grade of AAP, that would be a good indication that the classes have principal placement into AAP.  Similar if the numbers indicate enough for 1.5 AAP classes per grade.  It takes a bit of digging, but if you are only looking at a few specific schools this is a good start.[/quote]
