[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] How are the upper grades in AAP in Fairfax? I would think the same thing would be applicable there? After a certain point, you can't join a gifted program because you'll be too far behind.[/quote] If a kid were to join Fairfax AAP in 8th grade, the available math classes would be Honors Geometry and Honors Algebra I. Most bright kids coming from any school in the country would be at one of those levels. 8th graders at BASIS need to be ready for Algebra II, which very few kids would have. Also, bright high schoolers entering Fairfax can pick and choose regular, honors, or AP for each subject, based on readiness. BASIS for the most part has all of the kids in AP. I think for BASIS, the math is honestly the biggest barrier. Any gifted program with overly accelerated math would be the same way. Fairfax and a lot of other places have much more flexibility for math placement. [/quote]
