[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Base school level IV is not the same quality as a center school [/quote]

Please stop saying this. It is the same curriculum. Some centers don’t have certified AAP teachers and some base schools do. Some base schools out perform the center schools. Ask me how I know - I am a teacher at a LL4 that was shocked at some data I saw with VGA regarding centers vs base schools.  It all comes down to the teacher. [/quote]

Agree with the above - It largely depends on the teacher!
My thoughts/experiences are there are plusses and minuses, but largely, the average centers will out-perform the average LLIVs academically.  
All of this is dependent on the center and LLIV, which can be different, but the premise is largely accurate.  
(FYI - I'm a parent of a student who stayed in LLIV due to sibling/transportation ease)

- Centers have a higher proportion of students who were cental committee admitted vs principal Placed (arguably higher criteria to entry)
- Centers have a larger AAP student base to allow for multiple classes, which can lead to higher collaboration between students and teachers
- Centers are largely more established with years more teaching experience than a LLIV program that is just getting started
- Multiple classes allow for differentiation in the classroom year-to-year and broadening of the ideas and opinions
- LLIV has less "drama" or competition as many stayed to avoid the rat race
- LLIV helps to maintain local school relationships in the neighborhood and easier for transportation.[/quote]
