[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dear parents,

My child is an Asian boy in this grade K (just in case race and gender matter in AAP decision). I keep him in private school this year but eventually he would go to public school due to financial reason. He is very happy in private school, and he is in "advanced program" in private school in both literacy and math. His teacher told me he was advanced academically but on average socially. He is lovely and well-behaved, but not too patient.

Eventually our goal is to put him into AAP in public school. There are two approaches: 1, put him to first grade in public school, and keep giving him advanced academic classes outside of school. 2,keep him in private school for another two years and put him in public school directly in third grade.

So my question is for all of the experienced and knowledgeable parents here, which approach may have a better chance? I hear the FCPS AAP now is very complicated and very dependent on the teacher's review. I'm not sure if a private school teacher is a good reference for AAP. However, I don't want my son to fall back in these two years.

Thanks a lot in advance. Any suggestion is very appreciated.[/quote]

If he's doing very well in private, you need to rethink your finances and obviously prioritize his education.  Shoving him into public education would be a shame for everyone.  There is no shortcut to AAP.  [/quote]

This is a kindergartner. Honestly I would go public. Save that money. Use some for supplementation if necessary or for later education. First and second seems like a waste of private school tuition if you're going to go public anyways. [/quote]
