[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most of the non-center schools near us have 2-3 classes per grade.  There is no way they would fill an entire classroom with advanced math students especially after the AAP students have left. [b]There can't be many non center or LLIV schools that still has 4 classes per grade for grades 3-6[/b].[/quote]

One of our schools is a non center with a little over 600 students.  In grades 3-6, they have three to four classes per grade.  Looking at the yearbook last year, the classes are all a little bit over 20 kids.  They offer pull out enrichment for math and reading starting in 1st grade, and offer advanced math for the older students.

The "gen ed" kids there are quite advanced.  In fact, this base school scored higher on the SOLs than my other child's highly regarded center school, including the dreaded math SOLs.  The base school also consistently qualifies many children for AAP.

It is in a different part of the county from the schools that get all the press on these boards, and is not a school that gets extra funds for poverty.  Just a wonderful, solid, neighborhood school.[/quote]
