[quote=Anonymous]Regression to the mean. The child of two smart parents is likely to be dumber than they are. But IQ is not stable for younger kids, so it's hard to know where he'll wind up. Anyway, to the meat of your question: 1. There's very little to nothing offered in second grade for even absurdly bright kids. What matters is admission to AAP in third grade. 2. FCPS is deemphasizing test scores for AAP admissions to cut back on the number of Asi... uh, to increase equity. Teacher recommendations were weighted heavily beforehand and now will be weighted even more heavily. 3. My child scored somewhere around 126 on the in-school CoGAT test FCPS gives everyone in 2nd grade. He got in, and didn't have trouble with the academic material, which was mostly sub-par. FCPS AAP is probably not equivalent to the GT programs you went to when you were a kid. You will still be stuck supplementing.[/quote]
