[quote=Anonymous]PtO parent here with both kids who got into AAP on their first try. There are tons and tons and tons of studies showing kids' success is positively correlated to parental involvement in school. It's chicken and egg.

Kids whose parents give their free time to school, are obviously invested and also likely to be working with kids at home on their reading, math etc. Which is the case in our house. We do not have tutors, they are not geniuses but one got 98 percentile on the COGAT and the other 99th percentile. The former also had two 99th percentiles on the IReady, the latter had 97th and 99th the year they applied.

They give principal placement out primarily to the kids who get pass advanced on SOLs and aren't already in AAP, and they will move you right back out if you don't continue to get pass advanced. It does depend on how many available slots there are -- in 5th grade for one kid, there are roughly eight principal placed kids and in 3rd more like 12 or 15.[/quote]
