[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks all, I wrote something. I know the identification is fairly meaningless, but if they end up clustering the gifted kids in classroom placement next year, I want my kid in the cluster. [/quote]

So you have received communication from the RTG regarding the test scores? My kid scored high on the test, but we haven't heard from anyone at the school about it.[/quote]

I'm one of the posters with kids past elementary school.  We actually had to take the test scores with the comment on the form that says 'these results indicate the student is eligible for gifted services'...or whatever the print on the actual CoGat result form says.  Nobody contacted us and if I didn't go in with that form he never would have gotten in.  They also did a REAL number on him by putting him in the lower group when they divided the grade in half.   This was a kid with zero behavior problems, conscientious, high test scores and the highest grades on papers.  He came home the first week of 5th grade and said 'I'm not with my friends in the 'good' group'.   The school made a big deal about there not being a 'high and low group' but that was COMPLETE BS and it was done by favoritism, parental donations and kids that self-identified their kids as gifted in preschool--Lol. His friend was in the same boat, but once I shed light on the matter they circled the wagons (after moving my kid to the appropriate classes) and didn't let anyone else in, even when they were more deserving then some of the 'donor' kids in there.

And this was a PUBLIC school mind you.... JFC.[/quote]
