I’m sure DCUM isn’t a representative sample, but not seeing much evidence of pool discrepancies between higher and lower SES schools thus far. |

Madison Pyramid
NNAT 121 CogAT 137, NV 129, Q 135 V 129 Not in pool |

I don't know the SES of every pyramid, but 2 schools that could be lower SES - South Lakes and West Springfield - had lower in-pool scores. Even if someone reports their score was over 140, we don't know if the cut-off could have been lower since it's the only report here from that school. |

We are in the South Lake pyramid and it is hard to tell what school the poster was coming from. There are several Middle Class and Upper Middle Class schools in the pyramid and at least one FARMs, I think it is more then that, ES. The NNAT score was high enough that the student probably would be included in most of the schools local pools but the CogAT scores would not put a child in pool in several of the SLHS ES but might from the Title I ES in the pyramid. |

True. Just noting we haven’t seen any hard evidence of low in-pool scores thus far. Even the examples from South Lakes and West Springfield still had scores above last year’s universal cut-off of 132. |

Different schools have different cutoffs. 1. High SES schools cut off 140 2. Low SES schools cut of 132 or 120? Not sure |

Was 132 used as the cutoff for all past year AAP pool selection? |

Last year about 2/3 of schools had the lower of 132 or the school norm. In prior years sometimes it was 132 composite or NNAT, sometimes any subsection. It may have gone up or down a point or 2 some years. It was always published on the FCPS AAP site. Potentially you could find it somewhere in The Wayback Machine. |

Oops, yes--the last year of a 132 universal cut-off wasn't last year it was two years ago. Forgot about the pilot! |

This is what surprises me. My children are at a school that would be on the lower half of SES for Fairfax, if not the lower quarter (more than 1/3 FARMS, more than 1/4 ELL). It is the sort of school I would think the board intended to increase or at least maintain the number of students considered. However there are at least 2 students who would have been in the pool last year and are not. One even had CogAT composite of 136. Yes both parents chose to refer anyway so there is no true harm to them. But what about the kid who may have scored 132 or more but has parents who don't speak English and don't know about AAP or understand these changes? The ones who assume if their child was that bright the school would tell them and automatically consider them. These changes were approved by the board with the goal of increasing the net and yet they seem to have narrowed it. Even at the higher SES schools, I hope they actually do an analysis to determine if raising the cutoff resulted in more or less URM being considered. With no transparency, there is no way for parents to know if the school above truly had 5 or 10% score above 136 or if the school used a county norm (top 2% of the county). Is someone from the AAP office setting all of this or are the schools individually doing it? The memo posted here said the schools would, but then AAP office seems to have mailed the in pool notifications. Is anyone double checking the work? One person posted their AART said there was no pool. Was that a lie or someone who misunderstood the policy change and is applying it wrong at their schools? Is the schoolboard aware that the change to the pool process, which appears to have been made solely by Brabrand, does not include the safety net of the national norm like last year? |

| They should publish each school's threshold. It is the only way parents can be confident there is no error in computing their kid's pool status. |

Interesting. We’re at a Title I school. I only know one other second grader well enough to know their scores but both that child and my own scored more than 140 and were in the pool. |
