[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our LLIV can't fill a class each grade level either. There is a "lottery" for the extra spaces that is not an actual lottery. High SES school in a good pyramid. The politics behind the lottery are ugly.[/quote]

+1. We must be neighbors!  This is my kids LLIV ES. The politics of pupil placement made the school environment toxic. Until the principal gave up and stopped placing kids altogether. Then the AAP class had 16 kids and the Gen Ed classes had 29.  Which also created a nasty "the AAP kids get all the resources "environment.  Seriously, everyone pushing for LLIV so that you go back to a "regular, neighborhood school" needs be careful what they wish for.  Turns out lots of people  (parents and kids)  get unhappy when some kids get "chosen" for the "special" class and others don't.  [/quote]

My friend's school has a LLIV program where the AAP teacher teaches half the class at the AAP level and the other half at an advanced level in between general ed and AAP. I think there's another split level classroom with some at the LLIII level and some at the general ed level. Seems to work ok for them. There are also schools that combine say 3rd and 4th grade AAP together.[/quote]
