[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]21:31 How many GE kids are doing well academically in high school? I'm sure there are a lot but are there statistics of AAP children verses general ed children passing AP courses for instance? My neighbor has a middle school child from GE and says she's excelling and getting great marks, but she's in honor classes which I read on this board is more like GE was growing up. She isn't in any AAP classes in middle school.[/quote]

I have no statistics for you, only my own experiences.  Both my (former GE) kids are excelling in all honors and AP classes in high school, as are their (former GE) classmates.  Honestly, AAP has no bearing on future academic success, as much as some parents would like you to believe it does.  [/quote]

Similar experience here.  Mine are in 9th and 11th grade and doing well in the  Honors and AP classes.  I think it depends on the local school, though.  Our ES had many students kept at the local school instead of going to AAP, so while many went, there was still a large enough co-hort at the school.  It was enough to have advanced math taught at the local school.  Now it is a LLIV school and only a handful of kids go to the AAP center each year.  [/quote]
