[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s nice to hear other center schools don’t have the same issues as Colvin Run, but a shame for those of us here. The atmosphere at Colvin Run is toxic, and lies with how the administration runs its aap program. The parents (and kids) are the victims of the divide the school creates by how it handles the whole  aap process, appeal, and admittance. It only has 1 feeder school as opposed to other centers who have multiple. Therefore, most of the students are from the school itself. This is what causes the divide and frustrates parents. There is no way 1/3 to 1/2 of the kids are that much more advanced than the rest. Narrow the percentage down to MCPS standards or make ALL the students at the school advanced with the same opportunities, then parents wouldn’t be so upset. [/quote]

Absolutely agree.  If they insist on keeping AAP, they should have the smallest % possible of students in the program - the very highest achievers.  Not this enormous program that divides the entire student body between kids of identical abilities.  It's ridiculous.[/quote]

Would not allowing Great Falls to come over help? That's been discussed for years.[/quote]

I believe they already are allowed to choose CRES if they're in AAP.  Which, as another poster pointed out, shouldn't be allowed.  Frankly, if Gen Ed kids can't choose the school they'd like to attend, then AAP kids shouldn't be able to either.  The whole system smacks of inequity.[/quote]
