[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]AAP goes out the door in 7th grade. I have had kids in both programs. When your child is young and the "first kid", this seems to be when most parents are more anxious about getting into AAP.. By the time they get to middle school and certainly high school you realize it wasn't worth the stress. One "possible" perk could be peer group but I will say, my middle child did not have the positive peer group in AAP that my older one did. So, at least for me, my belief is that is just depends on the class year as a whole. Youngest is not in AAP at a center and all has been fine. In fact it has been the smallest AAP class this school has had. 3rd grade GE teacher incorporated  a ton of "AAP" curriculum-could be teacher dependent. Things seem to be really changing.[/quote]

Funny, for our pyramid, 7th and 8th being separated is the biggest benefit [/quote]
Can't gen ed kids elect to take honors classes at that point? BTW, My AAP 7th grader only has core AA classes; the rest of the classes are not "separated."  :roll: [/quote]

No but there are probably some AAP kids in these mixed classes since it’s a center school. There are more AAP kids roaming the halls overall at center middle schools. Better environment overall.[/quote]
