[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As the parent of an AAP kid, it's not a big deal.  All the "advancement" evens out by high school.  Your smart, well supported kids will do fine.[/quote]

I second that.  Both my kids went through AAP and are now in college. In high school, a bunch of their peers from scouts, sports, and the neighborhood, who didn't go through the program surpassed them with better GPAs, and got into more exclusive colleges.  Those kids had better work ethics than my kids.  It definitely evened out in high school.[/quote]

+1. Same thing we observed with our kids. Everything starts over in HS and tons of non AAP kids take the most rigorous classes and end up at the top of the class. Also noticed that several of the high achieving ES kids ended up in the middle of the pack and mediocre students. Some kids are late bloomers academically so they may not qualify for AAP but then excel when it clicks. [/quote]

Our experience in FCPS too. [/quote]
