Report cards for Level IV application

[Anonymous]

DC is in second grade FCPS and we’re getting ready to submit an application in December

Does anyone know how far back the report cards go? Does it include all of first grade plus second grade Q1? Does second grade Q2 get included too in the file?

Thanks!

What about if you're new to FCPS? I submitted the transcript from the prior school to the registrar upon registration. Will that be seen?

The iready is also critically important

[Anonymous]

What iready scores are they looking for?

Bump. What’s considered a good iReady score for AAP admission?

The iready isn’t critically important but it is a piece of the new holistic puzzle.

1st grade and 2nd grade Q1

I didn't know report cards went in - my very smart DD had a teacher who gave all the kids all 3s last year. Will this negatively impact her?

No one knows how anything is weighed.

It’s all a mystery wrapped in an enigma…
And soon the school board under Dr Reid will say the magic word “equity” and make the whole program disappear!

Do you have anythng constructive to add or are you just going to keep screaming “equity” and “Dr. Reid is bad?” Just checking.

No one knows - but pre-pandemic 3s were good. My DC got in first round with mostly 3s and occasional 4s. And lots of 2s in behavior.

Everything about the AAP admission process has changed since pre-pandemic times. (I have a child who got in before and one after).

With the move to local norms, your child is pretty much competing for spots against the other students at your school — On NNAT/CogAT, iready, report card, GBRS, work samples, etc. it really just depends on how your kid measures up against their peers on all those pieces combined.

So 3s on a report card doesn’t really matter if the committee sees that all the other students at your school are graded similarly and the rest of the packet makes a strong case that your child needs AAP.

The in-pool cutoffs have changed but packets are still sent to the central committee. How much has their evaluation and decision-making changed? Do we know or just guessing?
