Before you start reporting, you better check all your facts. There are other schools in the same boat!

I'm happy to report them all. Which other ones do you know of? The other possibilities I can see are Columbia, Halley, Poplar Tree, and Chesterbrook. Poplar Tree is less of an issue this coming year since they are becoming a new center. Chesterbrook historically has had very large AAP classes, so I'm guessing the one low class was just an anomaly this year. I don't know about Columbia and Halley yet. Shrevewood's credibility is at stake now because the principal deliberately gave more teachers than necessary to 3rd and 4th grade AAP students to appease the AAP parents specifically and she did this repeatedly for the two years this LLIV program has been in existence.

She explicitly promised the AAP parents that she would not put non-AAP kids in the class, so it was clearly intentional. It's unconscionable that the kids that arguably need the least attention (because they catch on quickly) got the most and the kids who arguably need more attention (because they don't catch on as quickly) were stuck in significantly larger classrooms.

What are you talking about? It was mentioned that if non-AAP kids are put in the class the class sizes would go from:

15 / 20 / 21 / 22 to

18 / 20 / 20 / 20.

How is that a significantly larger classroom?

22 is significantly larger than 15. Plus Shrevewood shouldn't have these low numbers in these grades if their average class size is 24.5. She made combination classes and increased kindergarten classes to make this happen.

PP Thanks for the heads up. At the open house the Principal mentioned he was not putting in Gen Ed kids with AAP kids. Do you know how many Gen Ed kids are put into each AAP class?

Very small numbers so the difference might not mean much at all. From what I see, there are only 26 center-eligible 3rd graders in Lemon Road.

Just wondering what it felt like to those at the Lemon Road Center. May not be a problem at all.

Uh, probably because Shrevewood didn't have a 6th grade LLIV class

Below is the list of students listed in AAP who are in classrooms under 20. I sorted by AAP and then by class size. It isn't a large number of classes. Of course Shrevewood is only listed once because they didn't bother to identify their 3rd grade classroom as AAP. The only LLIV programs that have less than 20 students in a class are at Columbia, Halley, Poplar Tree, Chesterbrook, and Shrevewood Elementaries. LLIV programs are supposed to allow mixing of children. Centers as a rule throughout FCPS do not mix the GE and AAP children.

BEECH TREE ELEM 03 AAP* 15

Thanks for this.

Lemon Road is a center and not an LLIV and it mixes in some GE kids in the AAP classrooms. Or for the combined 4-5 classroom, LR mixes 3 AAP kids with 20 GE kids.
