[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the test scores should be used for the pool selection and the teachers' observations/recommendations of the students should play a crucial part in the final selection round. I have often heard from my older child's AAP teachers that a lot of the kids in the AAP program should not belong there and these kids end up at bottom of their classes.  I don't know if all the prepping helps to boost up the scores slightly or not but I would think there is some truth to it.  If my children did not get into the AAP, I would have been fine with the decision.  There are more to success beyond just academic alone.

We have a poor performing base school and in third grade, all of my child's "circle" went to the AAP center. He was the only child in his base school's third grade class who was reading above grade level. He had to leave the classroom to meet with the two other children *in the whole grade* who were in his reading group. The next year, he and both those kids got into the center. This left zero above grade level readers at the base school. Some general ed schools are terrible for bright kids, even kids who would be fine in general ed at other schools with a lot of other similar kids.[/quote]
