To be honest, your kid’s score is not high enough. Not because you’re Indian, just because there are bunch of kids scored much much better than yours. See how many 140+ we have here.

If your kid is unprepped, a 132 is high enough to be successful in AAP and you absolutely should appeal if they don’t get in. The reason high SES have so many scores in the 140+ range is because many parents are prepping their kids to take the test. The high scores mean nothing in these schools, which makes the local committee input that much more important.

I am Indian and I don’t think 132 would cut it regardless, sorry. However you can definitely self refer if you think the teacher will give a good recommendation. Our DS got a 135 and didn’t get in last year but we weren’t surprised because it was 97% and frankly that is an on-the-fence score at our school.

Side note, it is quite embarrassing to hear some Indians griping about problems with equity. Not all of us agree with this mindset!

A 135 is not 97%

We are applying to the AAP program from a K-12 private and our DS is a second grader. We will be requesting their HOPE and their WISC-V results are FSIQ 136, GAI 138, both 99%. How does this compare to COGAT/NNAT scores?

WISC is more accurate and that’s a solid score. No idea how the AAP process works from private school but that score won’t be the issue if your child doesn’t get in.

People who brag are the ones who opt in here. My kid got in with a 132 COGAT last year, I just didn't brag about it here because I don't need the validation of strangers on the internet to feel good about how I've raised my children.

Sorry you’re right - 98%. My kid still didn’t get in last year with the 135.

Thank you for the opinion. I havent been able to find any information converting WISC to COGAT or NNAT...so any input is helpful.

My child (not in pool) got a 132 which is also 98th percentile.

Anyone know whether in-pool notices went out for White Oaks?

In-pool is determined BY SCHOOL now. If your kid gets a COGAT 132 (with whatever NNAT score and however they are weighting them) and are in the top 10% at your school, your child is in pool. If your kid gets a COGAT 132 and more than 10% of the kids at the school score above that, your child is not in pool.

0% to do with your child’s race or teacher input.

When did your second graders have nnat? We are new to fcps in second and they only have given our son cogat.

NNAT is given in 1st grade, so your child won’t have that.
