[quote=Anonymous][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.

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]

I was surprised when the teacher told me that DS is in the top math group. He scored 135 on both tests and is good at math.  But reading the many posts on this forum about kids with 140+ scores on the NNAT, Cogat, and WISC, I didn't know he'd be at the top of the class.[/quote]
