[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We just moved to McLean for better schools. I believe half of the classes in 3-6 are AAP. We are a center. I’m not sure how many kids from the base school but more than 20%.

We are new to the area but the homes that feed into our school are $1-5 million homes. I feel like most parents are lawyers or doctors. While not necessarily gifted, [b]these parents all highly educated and make a high income. No surprise that so many of their kids are also high achieving.[/b] Before you say it is just SES and money, the actual kids are so bright and motivated while also having great resources at both home and school.

20% sounds right to me for kids to be advanced. I never say my kid is gifted. He is hard working and advanced in academics.

I was always told I was gifted. Everything came easy to me. DH, on the other hand, studied the hardest. He now is at the top of his
Field and earns a seven figure income. He always says being gifted is BS.[/quote]

You must live in my neighborhood. Also there is a large population of Asian students (both Asian-American and Asian families in diplomatic posts) and it has been said that many of these families seek out FCPS for the AAP program.[/quote]
