I don't want to disclose personal details, but suffice it to say I'm questioning if my child was excluded inappropriately. I see helpful replies - thank you.

Hello. It's long been my understanding that kids with a certain score or above on the CogAT (given in the schools) are automatically considered for level 4 AAP. I've been told these kids are automatically in the pool and the school provides a packet on their behalf, even if parents do not request AAP review via the application process.

I've also been told that minimum score may have changed or may vary across FCPS schools, but I can't find any specifics on this and I don't know who to ask within FCPS.

-->> I'd really like to know what the minimum score is for this year, and, if it varies by school, who I can talk to outside of the individual school to know what that score is.

It may be worth noting we are at a title I school that is mostly ESL -- not Mclean or some of the schools frequently referenced in discussions about AAP eligibility. I'm also not trying to be "that parent", but have reasons to believe I may not be given correct information locally.

Thank you.
