[quote=Anonymous]And why should kids attending Middle School AAP have an advantage over kids in a non-AAP MS? The kids in a non-AAP MS can take honors classes and Algebra 1 H in 7th or 8th grade, just like their peers in an AAP MS. Or do you think the kids at AAP MS are all taking Algebra in7th grade, because they are not. A good number of kids in Advanced Math or AAP end up taking Math 7 Honors and then Algebra Honors in 8th.

My kid will be going to an AAP MS, it is his base. He has not been in AAP, we deferred, and we will be activating AAP in MS. I suspect he will be just fine in class with the kids from the AAP Centers. He is a smart kid who loves math and has been at RSM since 3rd grade. I doubt you would be able to tell him apart from the AAP Center kids. And I would guess that it is the same for the kids from MS that are not AAP Centers. The kids are still smart and still capable and will most likely be able to handle TJ academics.

If you are so worried about your kids chances of getting into TJ from a Center school, then feel free to attend your base MS and improve your odds. Let us know how that works out. [/quote]
