[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems like AAP has become educational crack in FCPS. The percentage is too high and fosters the perception of a two-track system, but FCPS is deathly afraid that, if it makes AAP a true GT program again, there will be massive flight of higher-income families out of some high ESOL/FARMS school pyramids where parents will only keep their kids enrolled if the kids are in AAP. [/quote] I teach AAP and I have many students with scores around 105-120 and GBRS as low as 10 and 11. All of my students last year were parent referrals. There is definitely a push for lower econimic students to be in the program, demonstrating that the program is available to all. Don't get me wrong, it is still a great program - it's just filled with a wide variety of students: gifted, 2e, high acheivers, and those identified in the county as deserving of the opportunity.[/quote]
