[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lorton Station had AAP center kids fail both reading and math. Gen ed classes had six kids out of entire classes pass reading and even less pass math. It’s a travesty. I’m out of there. [/quote]

well, they can hang out on tutor.com all summer and voila!... they should be back on their game! :roll: [/quote]

Well this just makes me even more mad that my DS didn’t get into AAP, our center is Lorton Station. He’s great at reading and math, but apparently not special enough. [/quote]

My daughter is really good at reading at math and usually gets pass advanced on SOLs. She didn’t get into AAP and we never appealed. We learned from our older child that it will be okay. Everything is open enrollment once they get to middle school and AAP is irrelevant. Don’t stress about it for the 3 years that is an option. [/quote]
Yeah I wish I had known this before. My understanding is that in MS the Honors classes = the AAP classes and are taught by the same teachers. So AAP is relevant only for ES[/quote]

Maybe the same syllabus, but the class codes are different and the kids are kept separate [/quote]

Class codes?? What are you talking about?

AAP only matters in ES and only truly matters to certain parents. You do not need it to succeed in honors or AP classes. There are many walking, breathing examples of that -including my own kid- throughout every FCPS MS and HS. [/quote]

Meaning when you enroll in the course. Each course has a specific number for registration. Honors class is a different class from AAP physically. Kids in the AAP class will go to a different room than the honors class. Now whether they do the same curriculum, I don’t know. The kids are separated. [/quote]Separated for 4 classes then mixed for the other 4, 5 if you count lunch. Plus the classes are every other day so really the kids are in these so called preferred “cohorts” for about 2 classes a day. It really does not matter or mean much in MS.[/quote]

Maybe not, but it is a different class. And my guess is the AAP kids will overlap more in lunch and electives because their core classes will be together.[/quote] My experience matched the above with AAP not being relevant. Have one in HS one in Ms one AAP one not. Kids are really mixed all over the place completely new friendships formed from things like music:theater or electives journalism/ news show etc. all the kids are mixed in electives. There are something like 10 ES schools going to one MS. My kids kept some of their ES friends but not others and made a ton more new friends who were a mix of the two programs. Back to the Sol. My two older kids did fine with pass and pass advance . My youngest in ES barely passed the reading but pass advanced the math…. Strange[/quote]
Wait...how do you know the results?[/quote]
