Interesting distinction you voluntarily offered up here. Are you saying that bc your kid goes to the same school but is essentially segregated by race/soci-economic status via placement in AAP classes apart from the rest of the population, the school is fine for YOUR kid? Or are you saying it’s a good school for all the kids?
Just wondering what motivated you to signal that your child is “in aap” in this context?
She's obviously saying the school is good for learning as long as one is in the AAP classes and bad for learning, aka borderline traumatic, if in the GenPop classes.

I feel like Kilmer is not as bad. And Kilmer like other MS schools have Honors classes. The AAP and Honors kids all do end up together in high school.
I have literally never heard of the "divide." Must be something for people with a general chip on their shoulder. My son is in AAP and is friends with kids both in and out of AAP from his electives. It is not even a thing that comes up among the kids so it's a weird thing to be fixated on. Lol "the great divide" oh no I'm so scared of the divide
I’ve never heard of the divide either, but neither of my kids were in AAP there. They don’t care who is and who isn’t. I’m pretty sure they think it ended in elementary school. No one talks about this in middle school.

Not the PP but that is a weird distinction. My kid is in AAP BUT AAP is only for core classes—electives and lunch are all together so no AAP doesn’t shield your kid from misbehaving kids or you know, bullets. Maybe the PP was responding the jerky poster dissing on Kilmer. But this thread has nothing to do with academics.

I appreciated this post until the writer felt the need to include that the child is in AAP, as if that makes any difference in this school safety discussion. Some of you AAP parents make me shake my head.
Reminds me of the old adage “how do you know if someone is in law school? Don’t worry, they will tell you.” Except apply this to being an AAP parent
Aah yes....you have to love Northern Virginia parents. AAP and SOL scores lol

DP. I have a kid there now, not in AAP. We are happy with the school and she reported feeling safe yesterday. She said she’s never felt anything but safe there. My other kid went through Kilmer, also not in AAP and even had a IEP. He also felt safe.
I don’t know these kids or what happened but fights in schools have been happening forever. I hope they took the threat seriously and determined it wasn’t a threat, as they told us. I’m speculating but can imagine how things could be said during a fight that aren’t a legit threat to the community. I remember seeing a few fights back when I was in school.
+1. Have people never heard an empty threat? By a child? It’s so Fairfax county to think you need to keep your kids home from school.

I think they were just responding back to the original sparky comment that Kilmer wasn't up to par with another poster. The original comment was elitist so they were trying to quell concerns about advanced programs there.
It's very likely this person who made thjs comment makes the same or less than the families of the kids who got in trouble. The kids were not poor and the entire school is pretty similar in student abilty level and socioeconomic status. it's also very diverse and not one race is strong majority.

Lol my kid is in AAP too and happy there but that does not assuage my concern about insane shooty children.
