[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a shame it's not just the top 2%. The current % is so disruptive to the whole system. [/quote]

Top 2% of FCPS is not top 2% nationally. It's why the FCPS CogAT is not nationally normed. For perspective-- about 2% of each FCPS class is admitted to TJ. [/quote]

Who cares nationally? Locally, it's causing a huge disruption and it's time to revisit the goal of AAP and also the approach. Something got lost along the way. [/quote]

What has happened locally is that fcps AAP program and TJ have attracted a lot of families with high performing kids away from districts like Arlington & MC, which brings in more NMSFs, higher SATs, more prestige, etc, which attracts more educated, high achieving families which raises property valies which raises tax revenue for fcps.

+1. This.  It's exactly doesn't Karen Garza has zero interest in getting rid of AAP. [b]And why Fairfax County has a tech corridor[/b]. [/quote]

It's utter hubris to declare that Fairfax County's tech corridor exists because of AAP.  It would exist regardless.  Plenty of highly-educated, professional parents live in Fairfax County and [i]don't[/i] have kids in AAP.   :roll: [/quote]

Also, where do you think the *successful* TJ grads end up living?  That's right, Silicon Valley folks!  They ain't hangin' around here.[/quote]
