[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are only in preschool and we are new to the area. I think it would be great if each pyramid stayed in its own school pyramid that offered AAP.

I grew up in a school district that was considered strong. We had 6 elementary schools that rolled up to one middle school and one high school. I would LOVE if that was the case here in FX county.

With the exception of TJ, I think kids should attend their zoned public school pyramid.[/quote]

How did the talented and gifted program work in your "strong school district?"  Did you simply have pull-outs or did you have full-time talented and gifted classrooms?  If your elementary school had a small number of students in the full-time classroom, did your strong school district have the budget $ to sustain such a small classroom size?[/quote]

We had full time honors classes in junior high and high school. In elementary school, there were gifted classes (math and english only I think) and we also did pull outs for other enrichment extracurriculars.

I don't know anything about the budget since I didn't think about that when I was a kid. The area was an affluent suburb.[/quote]

So the talented and gifted program in your "strong school district" was not as extensive as the program options in FCPS. Therefore, you would "LOVE" if that was the case here.

PP here. I do not like the way the kids are split up in elementary school, junior high school and high school here because of AAP.

In our zoned school district, the AAP kids get sent to a center in 3rd grade. That elementary AAP center then splits into 2 different middle school AAP centers, which feeds into 2 different high schools. I believe a significant percentage of students goes to Thomas Jefferson from those 2 middle schools. I would prefer if all the elementary AAP students would attend the same middle school and high school.[/quote]
