Yes. AAP admission is not based on the number of seats in the center. If your child meets the stardard for that year no matter where they live. Parental education, emphasis in the home in education and SES are not uniform throughout the county. So some areas have higher average scores, and thus more kids admitted.

I'm not on the committee so can't say, but the number of feeder schools for each center school doesn't say anything about admission chances, which are handled centrally. It says more about the need for AAP rather than Local Level IV at certain base schools and centers, specifically.

Do you have the same AAP admission chances throughout the county? Some centers cover 3 schools, some cover 12+. Is the same child going to get in in either center?
