[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would be fine if they got rid of the Centers at MS and ES. I also think a better model would be to have an Advanced Math and Advanced LA class and have kids change classes based on their ability level in each area. Group Math and Science and LA and Social Studies but allow kids to switch classes based on their needs.[/quote]

Cluster for ES and MS[/quote]

What about the schools that only have a handful of advanced math or LA kids? Their math class has 3 students and the one next door has 65? [/quote]

I would be surprised to find a school that only had 3 kids eligible for Advanced Math. If a school does not have LLIV, then any child who qualifies for LIV and defers will receive Advanced Math automatically.   The situation you are suggesting, 3 kids eligible for Advanced Math means that the school doesn't have LLIV. It also means that pretty much every LIV eligible kid has left for the Center. Most schools require a passed advanced on the SOL and a high enough iReady score for Advanced Math. So you are saying that all LIV eligible kids left for the Center and only 3 kids at the school passed advanced on the SOL and scored high enough on the iReady to qualify.

We are at a smaller ES, 4 classes per grade averaging 20 kids a class so 80 kids in each grade. Our school ends up with an average of 10 kids selected for LIV. I have no clue how many leave for the Center and how many stay at the base, we are using the cluster model for LIV. There are 2 classes in the each grade for Advanced Math. We are probably a MC school without a ton of serious interest in AAP, a fair number of parents keep their kids at the base school.

I struggle to where there are not a minimum of 15 kids who would be eligible for Advanced Math at any school in FCPS. Title 1 schools still have MC and UMC families at the school and there are smart kids who come from poor families. [/quote]
