[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a smart kid who is not going to AAP, and I'm glad that she can stay in Gen Ed.  Even though she is smart, she also has adhd, and she often lags behind the AAP type kids.  I think she will feel more confident when the AAP kids move onto the center school, and leave her at the base school with other kids like her.  [/quote]

I would agree except that I have a Gen Ed child whose base school is the center, which creates a bad situation.  The Gen Ed kids there become the minority, making reality looked completely skewed.[/quote]

That is a shame.

[b]FCPS needs to realign the school assignments in cases like this. [/b]

Unless it is a fluke year like the current fourth graders, that large of an imbalance shouldn't happen.[/quote]

Totally agree.  This is one of the centers in the Great Falls/Vienna/McLean area, in which all of the feeder schools already have large numbers of LLIV students, yet are still busing them to the center.  This is definitely one area which [b]does not[/b] need center schools.[/quote]

Or maybe if a pyramid has such a mass of students that they an support a large center sized elementary, 700-900 kids, then that pyramid should turn one of the middle schools into an AAP magnet school, while all the other pyramids continue with the center model since they do not have the students to support a dedicated elementary school.  The middle schools can stay the same in all pyramids.

I am not from that area, but from all the posts it appears that Haycock more than any of the other elementaries has way more AAP kids zoned for it than not, so perhaps they could turn Haycock into an AAP magnet, and reassign all the non-AAP kids to the surrounding elementary schools.  The schools in that area have such a high level of student anyway, so it is not like anyone would get shortchanged by taking one school out of commission and rezoning the kids to the other schools.[/quote]

Colvin Run would also be a good candidate.[/quote]
