Are you sure about that? [/quote]

Almost certainly. DD was in an AAP class of 34 last year.  Also AAP is considered to be a form of special Ed. You're entitled if you qualify. [/
There is not an entitlement in this county for AAP. There is not a min IQ that entitles students To be qualified for AAP. Many  districts set a min IQ score of 130 + to qualify for gifted services. This county does not. The only qualifier is the min score to get the student into the "pool".  That is why many student who qualify for the "pool"  do not make it into AAP. That is why kids with 130+ WISC scores do not get into AAP. [/quote]

You are equating FCPS not having a minimum score for automatic enrollment as equaling the county has a designated number of spots.  That isn't correct.  Kids with WISC of 130+ may not get in because there is nothing else to support that the child should be admitted, just like a single high score on one of the achievement tests also doesn't guarantee admission.  Your kid was in a class of 35 because your child was in grades 4-6 - and the max for those grades is 35 (OR your child was in 3 and kids were added after the school year was underway.)  They aren't having 34 in your kids' class to fill spots.   :roll: [/quote]
