[quote=Anonymous]We are in a similar boat with my 3rd grader.  His brother did AAP, and is now in 7th AAP.  His younger sister (2nd) was just found eligible for AAP, and will attend the Center next year.  We really struggled with whether we wanted to split them apart, but in the end decided to send DD.  This year, all year, she has had 1 other child in her reading group.  Thus far, this is my only way to gauge what the academic peer situation is like, but in our case, we have the cases of extremes.

My DS was borderline last year, and was not found eligible with borderline test scores on Naglieri, and lower CogAT and a 16 GBRS.  Last year, his closest friend left for the Center.  One of his other very good friends is leaving after this year.  These were his academic peers, reading buddies, Young Scholars classmates.  We have limited outside friendship opportunities that have been hard to overcome due to language barriers, despite my best efforts.

If that many educators looked at his scores, and files and felt he should remain at the base school, we decided to trust that they were correct.

He has had a great year at the base so far, he is a leader.  I think at the AAP Center, with huge class sizes, and his special needs/IEP, he might fall through the cracks.[/quote]
