[quote=Anonymous]NP. I taught at Nysmith a long time ago and still have some friends who work there. It's a beautiful building with a great student-teacher ratio and everything is top of the line. However, the PP who said Nysmith takes a lot of kids who didn't qualify for AAP is correct. There's a reasonably large attrition rate before third grade, when a lot of the kids who are accepted to AAP leave. The students are definitely bright, and probably 95+% are from high earning families that have access to tutors, educational consultants, and whatever else is needed to help their kid(s) succeed academically and socially while at Nysmith and beyond eighth grade. As a parent of a child who did qualify for Level IV AAP in FCPS, I would not send my kid to Nysmith in lieu of AAP [i]unless[/i] there was an issue where my kid couldn't adjust socially for whatever reason and really needed a smaller class.
