You don't really understand random? If you survey the scores of AAP participants they all exceed a certain number and also demonstrate exceptional skills or traits based on parent / child submissions and GBRS.

So everyone posting on here otherwise is lying?

I'm more concerned with what's going on inside the AAP classroom. If there are more GenEd kids at the school in general, that's fine.

Would an AAP class with 2 aap student and 18 gened work at the same level as one with 15 aap students and 5 gened? Which class would move at a faster pace and/or more advance instruction? The percentages of AAP vs gened at the school contribute to the makeup of each AAP class.

It worked, but in those places it is being undone by adding level IV to the local schools that were wealthier.

This makes sense.

Maybe trey but it’s way better than having no local level 4.

FCPS has added a lot of Level IV over the past 5-8 years. They are trying to do away with centers without having to say they are doing away with centers.

. Indirectly linked, but it is not directly linked.

So it is more likely than not that an school has a center or a local level 4. Interesting. I bet there is a direct correlation between FARMs and schools with neither.

There are 64 ES with LLIV and 29 Centers, by my count. There are 141 ES, so that means there are 48 with no LIV AAP.

I thought it was pretty uncommon to have local level 4 but I guess not? Our school has neither. How do they decide which schools merit a LL4 program?
