[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New poster here. So is the opposite true?

If a kid didnot get into AAP, then the chances of the kid not getting into TJ reduces substantially? Can the kid still take IOWA test in 6th grade?

DC is extremely good at Math. Not into AAP. Very shy and does not stand out.

What are the remedies sans AAP?[/quote]

No, not getting into AAP does not reduce a student's chances of getting into TJ or taking Algebra I Honors in 7th grade.  The student is still the same student.   AAP sends more to TJ because they both attract the same types of students.  The Honors classes in MS are excellent and the same curriculum as the AAP classes (AAP parents will dispute this and link to the FCPS page that shows the "difference" between AP and Honors, but there is no substantial difference (IME,individual teachers are a bigger determinants of the rigor of the class than the AAP or Honors designation.- My experience is at Longfellow with both AAP and Honors classes), and then they back off and say it is the cohort that matters).   Math is open to all students whether or not they have the AAP designation or not, they all have to meet the same requirements.  If your child is in the accelerated math class in ES, he/she will have the opportunity to take the Iowa test.
