I tried to fax the form and it didn't go through. Ended up scanning and emailing. I received a confirmation response back within a few minutes. So emailing is another option.

FWIW, if you have a child in language immersion that has Level IV services, you don't have to choose. Your child can do both language immersion and AAP. It took me a while to find out the answer to that question b/c our language immersion school isn't our base school or center, and I thought DC would have to choose one or the other.


If you're not in an immersion or magnet program, you can accept the AAP center now and change your mind before the start of the school year. If you're in an immersion or magnet program, you risk losing your spot in that program if you accept the AAP center now. You can't turn the AAP center down now and try to change your mind before the start of the school year.


It can be a tough situation for those who have to choose. I know that GFES has both. Are there others? I'm not sure. But as a former HS teacher, I do know that by the time these kids are in HS, it all evens out. Those who weren't in AAP will be meeting their AAP peers in Honors and AP classes.

We love our base school and our DC is very happy there, but no local level 4. So we really need to go to the orientation before being able to think and decide. I don't think it's much time for families to decide.

Go to the Capacity and Enrollment link. Find your school. You can tell how many transferred out and in for AAP. Also by grade.


Doesn't tell you how many stayed for LLIV.


Yes, it does.


For some schools for 2015-2016 there is no AAP count for LLIV schools. I know this is the case at Shrevewood, for example.

Yes, you are correct. 2015-2016 numbers go all schools do not get released until NEXT YEAR. in the meantime, you use historic numbers. For example: http://schoolprofiles.fcps.edu/schlprfl/f?p=108:13::::0_CURRENT_SCHOOL_ID:083


I don't think the School Profiles data shows the number of AAP students by grade level.


No, but this does: http://www.fcps.edu/is/aap/pdfs/aapac/1415/AnnualReport1415.pdf
