[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Still too many AAP kids in relation to the Gen Ed population.  [/quote]

That doesn't even make sense. Surely you don't think there's some optimal ratio? Presumably if the kids are smart enough to handle it, it could be 100%. Or does that not make the program elite enough for you?[/quote]

Yes, it makes sense.  The optimal ratio would be equal or lower numbers of AAP to GE.  It's not about the program being elite enough, it is about balance in the school.  The GE kids are made to feel like they are weird and dumb since so many of the students in their school are AAP.[/quote]

Exactly.  AAP numbers are so excessively high in this area, it's completely ridiculous.  Even at a center, AAP kids should not be outnumbering the Gen Ed kids.  And to the poster who suggested we shouldn't have bought a house in a center school district, our school was built [b]after [/b]we bought our home.  We were hoping for just a nice, community school without all the AAP nonsense, but what we got was a center.  Remember, a center is also a neighborhood school for many families.  The whole off-kilter dynamic (4 AAP classes/2 GE) changes that.  If there need to be centers, make them AAP-only so that the Gen Ed kids can shine in their own neighborhood school.[/quote]
