[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Level 4 is done at central screening which I’m sure everyone is aware of. It has nothing to do with the individual school unless I am missing something? I.e., they don’t reject a child at a particular school because there are too many already in the level 4 full time.  Is that correct?[/quote]

FCPS's line is that there is not a limitation on seats and that location doesn't matter. Reality points to something different. There are clearly different profiles for individual schools based on who is accepted or not. Schools are screened together so that kids can be compared. It is not as simple as adding a trailer to add capacity.

And it makes sense. Centers have to have room for their kids in the Gen Ed program, some with special education classrooms as well. Space at the Centers is limited so there is a hard number of kids who can attend AAP at the Center schools. There are probably formulas based on past acceptances for the number of kids who will choose to stay at their base school and the number of kids who will move to the Center schools so that the Center school classes stay under the max capacity. LLIV programs have a number of kids that they can house. These limits are going to affect who can be accepted into the program based on the base school and the Cneter school capacity. They also need to leave space for kids to be added in 4th-6th grade.

Schools that have a high number of high scorers end up with a very different looking group of kids accepted into AAP then Title 1 schools. [/quote]
