[quote=Anonymous]7:12 here again.
Just wanted to add-

If/When you talk to your base school, ask about what services they have and if you can refer your child for level III services.  
If your school has LLIV, and depending on how it is set up, the principal might be able to do placements. 
You should also find out about Advanced Math. 
You'll need to be familiar with what your school has in case your child gets denied.

In our situation, our base school had no LLIV. 
They were just starting advanced math but for the level a year younger than our kid.
Our kid was already in Level III and it wasn't enough. 
So the paths were either Level III or AAP center. Huge difference in those 2 "options" for services. 
We also had an older child that went through the base school so we knew what the rest of the curriculum looked like and were already told it was more or less going to be the same.

And a more important note: 
Look for enrichment opportunities OUTSIDE the school. Get feedback from non-FCPS people about your kid. See what your kid can do when not limited in his curriculum. 
Once we were able to "know" our kid's capabilities outside the school, then the answers really came clear.
