[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does it seem like center schools have a lot more of their second graders going into AAP than regular old schools?[/quote]

Yes.  Louise Archer past few years has about 30%-35% of second graders go on to AAP for third.  I don’t know if more people refer at center schools, more people prep or what?[/quote]

It’s not like kids at center schools are 40% more likely to be gifted than kids at schools where only one or two kids get in! It makes no sense logically. I had no idea there was such a huge imbalance in numbers of admitted second graders.[/quote]

Before we moved, we were zoned for a center where there were [b]3-4 AAP classrooms and just 1-2 GE.[/b] If we had stayed, I would have pushed and prepped like hell to get my DC in so they weren’t in the “dumb” classes. That atmosphere was toxic.[/quote]

Whoa, is this common? AAP shouldn't outnumber gen ed. That is horrible. [/quote]

At SEES, yes. [/quote]

We are at a center and I know many people specifically moved to our district because they suspected/expected their kids to be in AAP, either based on what they were already seeing or the fact that the parents were both identified as gifted, and wanted to be at a center school. So I do think center schools attract really smart families. Conversely average families may specifically avoid center schools because they don’t want their kids to be second class citizens. [/quote]
