There was a difference between Advanced Math and Level II services. I knew kids receiving level II services in third grade and above and those were worksheets. The kids were seen as being a head but not ready for Advanced Math. Advanced Math, we did not have LLIV when my kid was there, it started as we were leaving, was its own class and kids were not pulled into Advanced Math.

Advanced Math is kind of the equivalent to Level III except that FCPS consistently says that the math curriculum is technically outside of the AAP levels. That is why there is no AAP math in the MS. Kids in Math 7 H are not divided by AAP or non-AAP, same for Algebra 1 H.

This is not correct, at least in our school.

My older daughter has been in Level IV (local classroom) since 3rd grade (she's in 5th now) and her two best friends were in Level II for math (not level III, I am friends with their moms and we have discussed this, I am certain they were in level II) and both of them were pulled into the Level IV classroom for accelerated math daily, beginning in 3rd grade. That continued in 4th grade as well. In 5th, one of them was placed into Level IV and the other is still a Level II math kiddo. They are all still taking the same math class together, daily, in the Level IV classroom. The pullouts for advanced math were for level II kids, starting in 3rd.

However, there were NO advanced math pullouts for any 3rd grader at all in my kids' school this year, per the 3rd grade teachers and the AART. Level III kids did have a pullout, but it was once a week on Fridays and was NOT a math pullout. It was like a discussion group.

I suspect that it could be that different schools use the labels differently. It sounds to me that those kids were identified for Advanced Math and that the school is using LII in the same way my kids school used Advanced math. We didn't have LLIV so Advanced Math kids were in their own class, starting in 5th grade. There were LII kids that did not joining that group for math.
