I have had multiple kids go thru Navy’s AAP program. It is competitive to get in (probably not in pool if under 99% on cogats/nnat), but AAP classes are not super difficult once you’re in. They seem appropriately challenging.

I wouldn’t let the other thread taint anyone’s view on Navy. School is solidly good and is transitioning to a new administration this year, but the day to day for parents and students is exactly as it has always been. The drama is limited to the blog.

The AAP program prepared kids well for MS/HS math, science, and language art classes.

There's the demographics page, which has 22-23 school year. Keep in mind that the 24% receiving AAP services represents the entire school K-6, while AAP encompasses grade 3-6, so its probably closer to 40% of higher grades are AAP. It's also a center, so they pull in Crossfield AAP students, so I'd roughly estimate that 30-35% of Local Navy students are admitted to AAP on an annual basis.

This does not include the students in Level III, which might drop into the IV AAP courses for Math, etc, which is also a substantial number.

From the link for 2022-2023:
General Education 659
Advanced Academics - Level IV 220
Elementary Advanced Academics - Levels II,III 256

Assuming grade 3-6 has equal number of LIV students, that is 55 LIV student per grade. Assuming half are from Crossfield (-27) x 4 = 108, the population of indigenous navy class is (659- 108)/7 ~ 78

So the approx student population is K to 2nd grade: 78 per grade; 3rd to 6th grade: 105 per grade.

I forgot what we were talking about, but this is a nice demostration of LIV math work sample, I guess. /s

3 * 78 + 4 * 105 = 654 ~ 659.

I took a look, what a complete zoo that thread is.

Navy is a two school zone: Navy and Crossfield.

Even Navy has a reputation of uber-preppers, the reputation is mostly for its AAP program 3rd grade up. For 1st and second grade the Navy and Crossfield are about the same, you can get into NAVY AAP center if your child is accepted as AAP in Crossfield.

On a related note about prepping, I went to an award ceremony for Chantilly Kumon Center, kids are getting one year above grade, two years above grade all the time, AAP or not. Don't think prepping is a bad thing, it's the norm all over NOVA.

They're the poster child school for hyper competitive tiger parents, and prep central, so the top 10% is easily mid 140's to be in-pool for automatic consideration. If your child thrives in a competitive environment, Navy will certainly get the most out of them. Note that it also gets a bad rep for creating a have/have-not environment. I'm not sure I would send my non-AAP sibling there, though if I recall, they're over-enrolled now anyway and may not accept siblings?

There are mixed reviews about Navy sync being Uber preppers
