[b]No, but AAP doesn't purport to be a "gifted" program[/b].  We've been through this hundreds of times on this forum; yes some persist in beating this dead horse. :roll: [/quote]

YES.....IT......DOES..  Why are you persistently failing to understand this, despite the fact that so many people have explained it to you ad nauseam?  The state of VA mandates that all school districts provide gifted programming for gifted students.  [b]AAP is what FCPS uses to meet the state gifted mandate.  Thus, it is a "gifted" program.  It's also right on the main FCPS AAP page: https://www.fcps.edu/index.php/academics/academic-overview/advanced-academic-programs[/b]

First paragraph on the main AAP page:
In Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS),[b] gifted services are available to students who exhibit exceptional performance capability in academic, intellectual, and creative endeavors through Advanced Academic Programs (AAP)[/b]. When a student is screened for AAP, the school division considers a student’s performance in the four core academic subject areas of language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies.[b] FCPS also considers the diverse characteristics and behaviors associated with giftedness determined by multiple comprehensive assessments.[/b][/quote]

The bolded part is true - but your definition of "gifted" is different from FCPS's.  Read the first paragraph: " : eligible to students " who exhibit exceptional performance capability..." like a CogAt of 130 and GBRS of 11 or 12.    [/quote]
