Subject: Re:how many kids are in AAP %agewise? do they mix at lunch recess specials?
Which LLIV or center schools now have the children mix for specials, lunch, recess, science, and social studies? We have an AAP eligible child and are looking to move to a school like this. TIA!

Great, I'm hoping our local level IV is the same!

I hope not much because he really has a variety of friends and I want him to be around a lot of different kids all day. I know his academic group will be smaller, but is that all day now.
Is that a factor on whether I should send him or not?
Me too! That's why we are keeping him at base school (where he wants to be anyway.) It has a strong level IV and level II and III kids get pulled out of their classrooms into the level VI class for certain subjects. So he is more likely to see a variety of kids, or so I'm hoping. He is a laid back happy go lucky kid with lots of friends. I want to keep it that way. Happiness first!!!

How can you find out the demographics for FCPS as a whole (not per school or AAP)? Curious as to what it is.. thanks

This varies a lot by center. Our center did mix for specials and recess. This was one reason I preferred the center to our LLIV, which kept the LLIV class self contained all day. This led to a lot of "us vs. them" issues and I hear they have now discontinued that practice.

If you are talking about academic, even 1% is more than norm.

Because there are only THREE school/centers with 10% or more.... also b/c in my kids' school the percentage is higher than that -- more like 20% and I didn't realize it was so low in other parts of the county. Neighboring schools have 20% or more as well. I just thought that was more the norm.

Very interesting stats. I had no idea that there were only three centers with more than 10% African American students. That's really surprising to me.
AA students account for about 10% of the total population of Fairfax County Schools.

And this is another link that has useful information. It is currently not loading on my PC. Actually - worked on Internet Explorer, did not work on Firefox or Chrome. But usually you can find your school and see how many kids leave to go to a center each year, or how many stay and are in a local AAP program (I think).

I guess we can ask this at orientation or it varies by school.
my kid has say 25 kids in his current classroom. he was accepted to AAP. will about 5 of his current classmates go?
if 125 total in the grade, that's maybe 25 AAP third graders? just want to know how much his peer group may change b/c of this track if at all?
