[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are the most competitive schools/centers to gain eligibility for AAP?

The AART at our high SES/base and center school said there are no quotas on how many kids can be in AAP. So why does there seem to be different standards/metrics on who gets in across different schools? Or are there in fact quotas that FCPS is not transparent about.[/quote]

They all say that there are not quotas and yet that has to be BS. Centers are guaranteed to anyone accepted into AAP. Center schools have to serve the non-AAP students at the school, they only have enough space for an X number of AAP students. Grades 3-6, at most schools, have to share the remaining classrooms. The largest number of kids accepted into AAP would be the number of remaining classrooms/the 30, the largest class size in ES. So yes, there is a limit. My method is a rough calculation but there is no way that there are unlimited seats.

There are schools that are easier to get in to AAP because there are fewer parent referrals and there are schools harder to get into because there are a lot of parent referrals. In the end, you end up competing against the other kids from your school because there are a limited number of seats for kids from each school and the more kids apply, the more kids who seem to be a great fit are not placed in AAP.
