[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids like Jeremy Schumer who was doing calculus at age 6 and went to college at 12 (Ivy League)- those are the geniuses. AAP stands for advanced. Big difference.[/quote] There's a lot of space between child prodigies and ordinary above average kids. If we define +1 SD as "bright," +2 SD as "gifted," and +3 SD or higher as "genius," then AAP includes a lot of bright kids, a decent number of gifted kids, and a small handful of geniuses. I would not expect any bright kids to struggle with the FCPS AAP curriculum. [/quote] op asked if all kids in AAP are genius-level gifted. They are advanced and almost none are genius. That fact doesn’t move the needle though on whether her bright DC should be in AAP so while an interesting question, not relevant if about OP wanting DC in AAP. Best advice if don’t get in first time- appeal and if rejected again, apply again next year.[/quote]
