Am I the only AAP parent who has no idea what “group” my kid is in within a classroom? Like how do you figure out this crap? |

Same here. People are just bitter. |

Our center school doesn't have groups in AAP. Such a relief. |

Ours doesn't either. |

Same here. 1C, 3F. 136 COGAT and NNAT, strong emphasis on the quantitative section. |

Some teachers tell parents at conferences. Some kids spend a lot of time working with a group without a Teacher and tell parents. The implication is that those kids need less help then other kids. |

The GBRSs are rarely written so that they are negative. DS had 3 CO and 1 FO. I could read the difference in the FO category from the CO but the comments were still mostly positive. The few negative comments in his FO section were balanced with a very positive statement. Like his writing was weak in a spcific area but he was advanced in his verbal explanation. Your DC’s test scores point to a kid who will do well in Advanced Math but not necessarily ready for the LA component. The iReadys are very solid but not super strong. They are not used in determining who is in accepted into AAP so they would not have been seen by the committee but they point to a kid who is smart but more on the cusp then a shoo in. |

No, you’re not alone. Heck, I don’t even know if they’re grouped. All of these AAP threads mostly leave me feeling like I must be a totally checked out parent. |

| How do you know what the GBRS is? I saw people says 11. 13... etc but cannot find that number on my child's AAP package? |

They are making up their own scores. You will see Consistently, frequently, occasionally, or rarely observed. It used to be that the GBRSs were scored as a 4,3,2,1. People are simply equating the CO with a 4, FO with a 3, OO as a 2, and RO as a 1. The belief on this board seems to think that you need at least 1-2 COs and no OO or RO to have a real shot at AAP. 4 CO’s has lead to rejection while 3 COs and 1 FO or 2 COs and 2 FOs seem to be associated with acceptance. |

Rarely/never observed is a relic from the past that they haven’t used in at least 3 years (likely more). It’s consistently, frequently, occasionally now. They also no longer assign points to the rating. |

Just curious how your DC knows she had the best or second-best scores on tests. |

I'm not entirely sure how she knows. When I ask her about a test she'll say "26 out of 26 and I was the only one" or "25 out of 26 and there were two others that got 25 out of 26." It's all computerized, so maybe the teacher shows a graph of the score distribution? It's also possible they share their scores - it's a competitive bunch of kids. |

Kids talk and share scores. DS can tell us most of the scores in his class because his classmates are sharing their scores. we remind him that grades are not a competition and are private and he tells us that other kids compare how they are doing all the time. It drives me crazy. And yes, he knows that his math score is normally one of the top scores in the class. He also knows that he finishes his work with enough time to do the extra activities and use the STEM stuff in the classroom for fun while he has friends who never get to do that because they are struggling to finish their work. Iknow this because his friends parents complain that their child is jealous of the kids who get to do the extra work when their kid is struggling to complete the required work. Between parents and other kids it is not hard to know where my kid stands in the class. |
