Just look at these demographics:

[b]In my area, 71% of Asians and 83% of whites test into an AAP Elementary School. Only 41% of blacks and 22% of Hispanics test into an AAP ES.[/b] I just can't think that great of a number of children are so different at such a young age and that they wouldn't benefit by being in the same classrooms. Additionally, only 22% of those enrolled in Free/RP lunches test into AAP ES in my area. So I have to think that this isn't about brains but is more about the privileges that come with having educated parents with stable income. 
  
Thoughts? Has anyone kept an "advanced" child in the general ES?  :?:  :? [/quote]

Can you please provide a source for this info.  Thank you! I'd like to see what my ES looks like. [/quote]

Can we call bs on the fact that the lowest percentage of any group being admitted is 22%... with some as high as 83%  And we're supposed to either a) believe these stats, or b) believe that AAP is actually a "gifted" program when so many students qualify?[/quote]
Your logic certainly doesn't make you sound like gifted.[/quote]
