[quote=Anonymous]OP ~ you are approaching this with the right frame of mind - thinking about what will bring out the best in your child. I agree with others that there probably wouldn't be any harm for him to be placed in AAP. Advice for the far, far future: Once he's in AAP there is going to be a mindset that these kids should then move to lots of honors/AP classes in middle/high school. Some of these kids will not do as well with such a heavy schedule and parent ego gets involved since they "should" be smart enough. I've seen many former AAP student crash & burn (so to speak) who would have been more successful and had better college results if they had been encouraged to balance their schedules with some Gen-Ed (still college-prep) classes.
