[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It isn't crazy to recognize whatever percentage of kids test in the 98-99-100th percentile on national objective tests as academically gifted - around FFX county, that is a high percentage of the kids. And the number of centers has grown too since 2000 [/quote] 18% of fcps kids didn't test in the 98th percentile and up. That figure includes kids who had lower scores, but got in with a great GBRS or based on other data, and kids who were prepped extensively to get that magic score.[b] I would say that the 10-13% numbers from a few years ago were likely more accurate. The craze of prepping and gaming the system is a relatively new development.[/b] [/quote] I suspect it's more that FCPS has relaxed the admissions standards, not that the prepping caused such a big jump in the last two years. [quote]It's definitely not a "Gifted" program any more. [/quote] Now AAP stands for "Above Average Program."[/quote]
