[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Id never heard of this before and found out about a bunch of field trips and activities going on at DC school. DC brought it up and we don't qualify based on the following criteria, but this seems kind of crazy. Is FCPS even allowed to do this? Are there alternatives for people who don't qualify?

[quote]Young Scholars is:

Designed to identify and nurture students with high academic potential from historically underrepresented groups* in Advanced Academic Programs (AAP) and courses
A strategy to increase access to rigor found in:
The FCPS strategic plan.
The Closing the Achievement Gap framework.
In addition to, not a replacement of, advanced learning opportunities from the FCPS AAP continuum of services.

Here's what they offer: https://www.fcps.edu/academics/elementary-school-academics/k-6advanced-academics/young-scholars-k-12

It seems like a way to encourage smart kids whose families may not view college as a possible outcome to stay on a college path. [/quote]
My AAP kid did it last year for the summer. Not sure what she got out of it.  I was confused why she qualified. Maybe an ADHD diagnosis?[/quote]
