[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parent of one in AAP now and one in TJ who was in AAP.

Older one was our first experience with this whole process.  We moved DC from base school that had just instituted LLIV bc we wanted a larger peer group and the ability to move around in class groupings for the next 4 years due to specific issues at the base school.  Younger child was found eligible after we parent referred him into the pool (ie no appeal, but we did ask him to be considered.)  We did this to make our lives easier by having both kids at the same school.  Flame away on that one.  To tell the truth though, younger child excelled in AAP and at the school  - more so than older child.  Younger may have excelled at base as well.  We were not at all impressed with the AAP Center for ES, [b]but LOVE the MS AAP Center[/b].

So my advice is that you really need to figure out what will work best for YOUR child and YOUR family.  [/quote]

AAP parent of MS kid - I am not thrilled with my DS's MS expeirence. The kids are all groups together and so his circle is a smaller one. I was kinda looking forward to him expanding his circle. But he's got the same kids in all his classes except PE and one elective.  He's happy and I'm happy. I think it did make middle school easier that he's in a small group of the same kids, but I was expecting the tracking and smaller social cirlce to happen later. The teachers are all great, but they also teach on level classes also. And by great teachers I mean my DS has a schedule of the kind of teachers that you expect to get just 1 a year and he has a whole schedule of teachers. [b]The one teacher he complains about is a "normal" teacher - she's good, just not a super star like the others.[/b][/quote]

Excuse me while I vomit.  A "normal" teacher?  [/quote]
