[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thoreau's school profile on the FCPS website (http://schoolprofiles.fcps.edu/schlprfl/f?p=108:13) says about half of the kids are already in LLIV.  So with the influx of new kids, some of whom will presumably choose LLIV, will that make the gen ed students a minority at the school?  I'm confused as to how so many students can be deemed IV AAP based on some of the earlier threads discussing the raw numbers of AAP kids staying at Thoreau vs LJ.  [/quote]

It just means 46% of the students are receiving some LLIV services. It doesn’t mean they tested into the AAP program. If you add the numbers in those columns up, you’ll see some kids are double-counted and the total is about 162%.[/quote]

It says 422 children last year received LLIV services. It then has another line for LL I,II, and III services. What else does that mean other than the AAP program?[/quote]

Is Thoreau counting students not in AAP taking honors? Technically, that is level IV I guess in MS.[/quote]

ALL schools count kids who take four honors classes as doing Level 4.  Go look at schools that are not AAP centers and do not have local level 4.... and you will still see that they have a certain number of kids counted as doing Level 4... why?  B/c any kid who does all honors for math, Eng., Soc. Stud, and Sci. is "Level 4" by the way FCPS tells the school to count it.

Thoreau's number includes those who do actual AAP (of which there are about 100 per grade) and those who are doing all honors.  Note that nearly everyone does honors science and social studies.  That's the way they run the school.  But, kids are encouraged to be placed in the right english and the right math (which may not be honors).  So those are the kids who are counted as being level I/II/III services.

The bottom line is that AAP kids take their Sci/Soc. Stud/Eng. classes together and there are about 100 AAP kids in 7th and also in 8th.  But, who knows how many there will be next year.  [/quote]
