Assuming these are legit, that hurts the program. It will be less challenging for the kids who did get in.

Not a lot. All 3-5 of them in the county with high scores that were not admitted each year post on these threads and it looks like a lot but it isn't.

You can hate the program, if you want, but do it in a rational way.

Hit send too fast.

NNAT 160 (which they said was perfect - our teachers had never seen one, though I am sure it's not a never)

COGAT 135

NOT in. My husband was so unhappy. It does seem a bit much.

I am not sure - Reading was 71 and Math was 86. Is that terrible?

Those scores are low. How was Hope rating

Also not good - so that must be it. Thanks.

My kids’ teachers have told me that their iReady scores in early years might have been low because they just weren’t used to taking tests or doing anything on a computer. They don’t have tablets, they don’t play video games, they do watch tv but that’s not interactive. I thought that was an interesting assessment. My 2nd grader is one of the ones with high COGAT and NNAT but iReady scores below 90%.

The HOPE scale is the teacher rating system that replaced the GBRS this year.

Girl, 144 NNAT, 138 CogAt (144 quant), consistently 99% iReady on math and reading since K, good grades but wouldn’t be surprised if her HOPE was mediocre as she has focus/attentiveness issues. But she’s in.

It’s not just scores. I know someone who got in with low 90s cogat score. AART teacher said GBRS is weighted pretty heavy. So I would recommend you talk to your AART and see if the GBRS was low and perhaps you can appeal with letters of recommendation.

What is GBRS exactly and what do you mean with recommendation letter??
