[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It was just listed on a recent thread about the 50%. I do know that Wolftrap and some of the other schools changed their program partly because they have more than one class size of AAP students.[/quote]

Mention on another thread doesn't make the over 50% stat true.  I don't doubt that schools like WT have higher shares of aap, but over half eligible is ridiculous. If there are 4 to 5 classes per grade as is the norm in most ES, then there would be over 2 classes of solely aap eligible DCs. Very unlikely.[/quote]

That's exactly what happens..  At Wolftrap, in the 6th grade right now, there are 4 classes, 2 are AAP.  That was an exceptional year, but in general, each year over 1/3 of the 3rd grade class qualifies for center services.  I know someone will say that not all those kids actually qualified - yes, they did.  That is why Wolftrap, and other similar schools with high acheiving populations are changing their models.

Ok, here are the facts,  for the past three years of available data, the share of aap level 4 students at Wolftrap ES has been between 20 and 21% not close to 1/3 or anywhere near  over 50%.
