[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I haven't followed the AAP threads at all. My question isn't really a concern of whether my child would qualify or not - it's more about getting put in an environment that is so high stakes at such a young age. I just want a good school district where I don't have to be worrying about testing into elite programs at such an early age. Is that too much to ask for? The school districts I have looked at have fed into either George Mason, McLean, Yorktown, or Washington Lee. [/quote] You do have much to learn, but there's no hurry. I'd suggest the county school websites rather than boards like this. Academically, though, you won't go wrong with FCPS/McLean whether AAP or not. There's nothing high stakes about any of this unless you're betting everything on getting into TJ. It doesn't seem like that's the case. As many here have noted, AAP phases out by high school. While it lasts, though, it can benefit those elementary and middle school children identified as advanced learners.[/quote]
