[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]11:42 Are you sure that Forestville doesn't have 204 students who qualified? Those numbers are done by the central office so I don't see why they would know which children are put into specific classrooms.[/quote]

Forestville mom here.  I can tell you for certain that not all 204 are center eligible.  Lots of very bright principal designates, yes, but center eligible, no.  That said, a high percentage of center eligible kids did elect (well their parent did elect) to remain at Forestville instead of opting for the center at Forest Edge.[/quote]

How do you know all those students were not center eligible?   That is the number reported to the state of Virginia.  The best audit proof for the 204 is found by going to the FCPS Boarddocs under school board follow-up.   These are [b]staff's official responses for the record[/b] to school board questions.

The chart on page 64 /68 is "AAP Local Level IV services Membership February 2012 Center eligible students who decide to stay at local school"  and is in response to this question on page 35:
"Level IV AAP services
April 16, 2012, work session
Staff response: Peter Noonan
#12-46 Please provide a demographic and geographic breakdown of the 18 percent of students in
grades 3-8 in Level IV AAP during FY 2012. (Tamara Derenak Kaufax)"

The Forestville number that stayed at the base school for February 2012 is [b]145[/b].    The membership report is 183.  So the percent posted is wrong since FCPS is running a subjective double set of books.

I guess Forestville is dumping in how many ever it takes to get 2 nice size classes per grade level.  Chaos by Carol Horn and the parents that get to call a kid gifted....shocked, appalled, and disgusted that these numbers don't match up.   [/quote]
