In 1964, FCPS created a GT Center program for about 1% of the 3rd through 8th grade students. The Center program expanded fairly quickly to include about 5% of 3rd through 8th grade students

Top 1%? Special elementary school classes for the top 1% of students!
Someone, anyone show me an elementry school system that has a differentiated education for the top 1% of students in this country or anywhere else in the world. Romania under Chauchescu? The secret underground elementary schools in N. Korea - where the 1% "truely gifted" students get all the free protein that they can eat for lunch perhaps?
Way back when AAP was called Gifted and Talented (GT), it was for the top 7% or so. I am sure that FCPS is going to jump right on this plan.
This hijacked thread gets more silly as each day goes by...
THIS IS FOR YOU PP!!

Best of luck to you! May your circumstances soon change for the better.
Hanging out here in the hinterlands of weird and obsessive mommies is fine for those of us who have settled into our small time lives here in DCUMville but I somehow think that you are destined for greater things.
Get real. The poster is a fake, trying to establish that parents who "push" their kids into AAP will die young leaving a dysfunctional child. Big clue: "AAP starting in K." Doesn't happen.
AAP does start in K. You just didn't realize that because it isn't called AAP at that level. "Junior Great Books", "Young Scholars" (suposedly for under represented students - bunch of malarky - they put who they want!) There is a lot that FCPS doesn't make public about there "tracking". And, BTW, if you wanted the thread to "die" why did you respond? Idiot!
PP - Respond yet again!!
And that would be their "tracking"
