[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If there are a large number of students scoring highly - you don’t need a special program. The home school can accommodate them because they have the critical mass of student. [/quote]

No. They. Can’t. And yes, they still need advanced programming for high scoring kids b/c the class sizes are enormous and are still being taught to the lowest performing students. These programs aren’t offering advanced math, at a faster pace, for the masses. Further, as a parent of 2 kids in a high SES base-is-center school, the AAP cohort v. Base class cohort, pace of class, and curriculum offered, has been vastly different. I’m relieved my kids are in AAP and I completely understand the frustration of parents who are getting gaslit by admin who say their 98/99% scoring kids, who are bored out of their minds in base classes, don’t need AAP bc we’re “such a high performing school.” [/quote]

Yes they can.  They might not do it. But it is easily done. [/quote]

Right, the point is that they don’t/won’t do it, therefore the home school is NOT accommodating those high scoring student who you allege are already being served by base curriculum. [/quote]
