Well surely the county AAP teacher whose child was rejected knows someone!

There are other anomalies posted here, but this one seems to fly in the face of the local norms shift. Is this a boy or a girl and are you willing to disclose race?

What?!

I feel like this has to be an error. What would justify keeping out cogat of over 136 honestly? And especially being that you are an AAP teacher yourself. Not right.

The committee wouldn’t know that I am an AAP teacher, but it is definitely frustrating because I’ve taught AAP for years and know DS is an AAP kid. My other DS is not, and that’s fine. I have DS’ packet and his teacher gave him very mediocre HOPE scores and his reading iReady in the fall was only in the 78th percentile— an outlier and his Spring was 90th.

This one is insane!
Mom—did you piss someone off? Is your kid getting behavior referrals to principal constantly? Because this makes no sense.

I'm really surprised if they're weighing iReady that much. It seems like such a joke of a test.

HOPE they have already said they weigh as the biggest factor - or GBRS it was as you know.

WTF? What school? My child's scores were higher than that and was rejected. Are you at a low SES school?

Check with your teacher, this year the HOPE score and student profile weights more.

I posted on the other thread.

153 Cogat, 160 NNAT, 99% and 94% I ready. Good report cards. Not in. Seriously, what is going on?

HOPE is bad?

If AAP is designed for gifted students, this doesn't make sense. But maybe AAP is mostly for kids with good behavior and OK grades?

FWIW, my DD's AAP classes have had plenty of disruptive kids of the chair throwing variety.

Correct, it is mostly for good/great students with good grades who are (this is the critical part) good in the classroom. The students teachers like to have. It hasn’t been a true gifted program in many years.

That is a bummer. I am sorry.
You should definitely appeal and if possible ask for an explanation about this result. Just curious what kind of work samples you submitted.

We are active members in the PTA and active volunteers and I would say pretty well liked! Our kid has never had a behavior issue in class, so seriously I am scratching my head!

He is a white boy, I'm more upset he is losing is likely going to lose his peer group as most AAP eligible kids go to the center based school.

My son had NNAT 135 and CogAT 126. Not in.
