[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]AAP is not supposed to serve kids with IQs merely in the top 10%. It should be reserved for top 2 or 3%.[/quote]I assume this is just your belief of what it should be and not an attempt to describe what it is? AAP is not a gifted program, nor is it advertised as such, and it has no hard-and-fast IQ score/percentile cut-off. It's a faster-paced and more in-depth version of the grade-level curriculum (until the grade-level jump in math). The only FCPS option for G&T is grade-skipping or, starting in middle school, advanced/honors classes.[/quote] Actually, AAP is FCPS program for academically gifted children. Until 2009, it was called GT. The change in name from GT to AAP was not because standards changed, but rather because there are many types of gifted -- artistic, music, sports. But FCPS GT only addressed academics.[/quote]
