[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If AAP were for the top 1%, wouldn't they need a new curriculum? It doesn't seem like the current curriculum would really cut it.[/quote] AAP has not been for the top 1% of students since 1964. It is a total fantasy to think that FCPS is going to drop the program down to 1% or even 5% any time soon. It just is not going to happen. [quote] Advanced Academic Programs (a/k/a AAP, AAP Level 4 Center, Gifted and Talented, or GT) in Fairfax County Public Schools [url]http://www.fcag.org/gtfcps.html[/url] [b]In 1964, FCPS created a GT Center program for about 1% of the 3rd through 8th grade students.[/b] [b]The Center program expanded fairly quickly to include about 5% of 3rd through 8th grade students[/b], who were selected based on ability test scores. In 1993, FCPS began admitting students to the GT Center program based on a combination of test scores, a Gifted Behaviors Rating Scale form, and other information. [/quote] [/quote]
