[quote=Anonymous]I have 2 kids in the AAP at Hunters Woods.  Honestly, as happy as I am with the school, I wouldn't want to have a kid in Gen Ed there.

It has nothing to do with the teachers (whom I don't know anyway) or the administration.  But when there are 8 classes per grade, and 5 of them are AAP, something is off.  Not to mention the general income disparity between the AAP classrooms and the non-AAP classrooms.  This isn't a comment on who qualifies for AAP, but simply that the base school kids come from mainly apts and townhomes, and the AAP kids are bussed in from a different pyramid entirely, one where million dollar homes abound.  It's just a very strange dynamic, and I can understand the OP's frustration.

Fortunately, in the case of HW, they are addressing that situation.  This year's 3rd grade has 2 AAP classes and 3 Gen Ed, due to the creation of a new center.  The grade is much more balanced and less crowded generally.  This is what needs to be done county-wide-- smaller centers that do not dwarf the base school Gen Ed population.  This would be a much better solution than bussing Gen Ed kids away to a different school.

I think this is what they were trying to do last year with the whole AAP restructuring.  They just went about it in such an ill-thought-out manner that it was bound for failure.   In the meantime, I'm happy that our base school is a non-center (and non LLIV) school for my third child who is not AAP.  So, I hear your frustration, OP.[/quote]
