[quote=Anonymous]AAP is not the be all and end all. Back in the 80s and 90s they only took kids with Full Scale IQs of 140. They lowered the bar and now have lots of bright, motivated kids. My child was accepted into Level IV and I did not send her, because we were already in a good school and the center was a long travel away. She did fine in a good FCPS school, did the full IB diploma in high school, got into a selective private university with scholarships where she graduated with honors. If you live in a weak school district, then push for AAP Level IV. I’ve been in the county for a long time. There are some truly gifted kids there, but many are smart kids from families who provide enrichment as part of parenting. Please don’t pressure your little kid. Please enjoy them for who they are.
