[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I still think there's something inherently wrong with a program that does not mix kids for instruction for part of a day so that the AAP kids realize they aren't so advanced in academics and the general ed kids don't think they are so behind. For this reason, I think there should be more mixing during the day even in centers. Until this happens, if you look on FCPS's dashboard you can see the schools that have the most AAP children related to the number of general ed children and try to avoid the schools where the AAP kids are a majority. Some of the schools have had boundary shirts to where the incoming classes are better distributed so that the AAP kids aren't a majority for the future. But there are still some schools where there have been no boundary shifts and the AAP children are a majority. For middle school, this includes Carson and Rocky Run. For elementary this seems to include Stratford Landing, Oak Hill, Haycock, Churchill, Springfield Estates, Keene Mill, and to a lesser extent Louise Archer, Poplar Tree and Greenbriar West all who had recent boundary shifts. Stratford Landing seems to have the heaviest amount of AAP students compared to their general ed students.[/quote]

Some of these, the AAP kids might not be the majority, but they were close enough to being even with the general ed population as well as just large in number that I included them.[/quote]

AAP kids don't necessarily have to be the majority.  If the numbers are close, it can certainly feel like they overwhelm the GE population.[/quote]
