Same situation here. Forestville.

Thanks, Forestville. At GFES. Nothing in mail today either but told by school they were mailed yesterday. NNat would put her in pool but read something on other thread that they are looking at NNat (taken in first grade) and CoGAT this year together to determine pool, not one or the other. Can someone confirm or deny? Does everyone find this as ridiculous as I do?

Anyone from Greenbriar East Elementary (GBE) got in pool letters or scores yet?

My dd is in pool. She didn't take NNAT since we moved in FCPS last fall. All her cogat score are above 135, so I guess that's why she is in pool.

What was the NNAT score from last year?
In years past, it seemed as though many kids had an NNAT score about 10 points higher than their cogat. I am wondering if that trend is working the other way around with the new form of the cogat test.

I think the Shrevewood parents could have a hard time this year. The new principal was alarmed that the school sent 18 kids to AAP last year. She has mentioned it several times. I suspect she will try to keep the number down this year. I would wager GBRS will be low.

BTW. I do not have a child up for AAP this year so I don't have a dog in the fight.

Does the principal have a say in GBRS? The principal at our school knows the kids names, but that's about it.

Principals are part of the local (school-level) screening committee, so yes, the principal has a say in the GBRS regardless of how well s/he knows each student.

I would think that the other members of the committee would stand up for a kid if the principal was trying to cut their score just for the sake of keeping them at the school.
