[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Level 3 is a joke at our school. 1-2 hours a month with a part time art. [/quote]

exactly.  That is why there is such a push to get kids into Level 4 -- b/c there is a cliff b/t level 3 and level 4.  It's an "all" or "almost-nothing" situation.  [/quote]

If they are in level 3 plus highest math and highest reading group it shouldn’t be a huge difference. [/quote]

are you not getting it?  Level 3 = 45 min. in ONE subject each quarter for 45 min per week.  So, if you are in "Level 3" at my kids' elem. school, and if you are lucky enough to get the pull outs each quarter (that is not guaranteed even if your CogAT is 130), then the most you can get is 45 min (TOTAL) per week for about 6 weeks out of each quarter.  I think that IS a "huge difference" compared to fulltime AAP at a center.[/quote]

My Level III child gets advanced math every day (which is the same as AAP math), above grade level language arts materials every day along with the other kids in the highest reading group, advanced word study grouping once per week, the 1 hour AAP pull out once/week, and some academic extracurriculars available only to the kids in Level III.  I know these services are school-based and not standardized across all FCPS schools, but they ought to be.  Level III looks much less dismal when you at least get advanced math, advanced language arts groups, and teachers who differentiate for their strongest students.

My LIV child's AAP center does not offer advanced math to gen ed students at all until 5th or 6th grade, which is a shame for the gen ed kids who are talented in math.  [/quote]
