[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  This is not a center school.  I was under the impression that AART are there to help parents/act as a resource/be a guide in the process.   Getting scripted answers feels fake and doesn't accomplish those goals.  And I know she's been more helpful to some others.  [/quote]

Well, in that case, just do the best you can with the samples. My son is in a center school and the AART wasn’t helpful at all. But you can always try for principal placement if the child doesn’t get in. [/quote]

OP. Child is already principal placed.  Our school does clusters but kid has been in an AAP cluster but I've just really been hoping to get DC admitted into AAP before MS and I've been desperate for more guidance given past year rejections.[/quote]

Have you requested the packets that were submitted each year to see what the quality of the school work samples were and the GBRS?  If they are principal-placed and doing well with Level IV material, something is off.[/quote]
OP again, GBRS scores aren't perfect but they are better than many who post that have been accepted. I just don't know if we are writing a good application and the help we aren't receiving is frustrating us.  It all seems like a political game. [/quote]

I bet the center is full, so they aren't going to admit anyone to AAP who would be zoned to that center.  Your kid will have an easier time getting in when applying in 6th grade for middle school placement, since program capacity will not be an issue.  [/quote]
