[quote=Anonymous]Before everybody bashes the AAP program as 'above average", there are many, many other gifted programs out there that set their criteria for admission at 90-97% and many of those programs start in kindergarten or 1st. Except for the percentage of parent referrals of kids who get in (who mostly have a high WISC score supporting their admission), the kids in the AAP program scored 98% or better and were tested at an age where IQ flattens out, unlike the K or 1st kids in other gifted programs. Whether FCPS needs a two-tiered program (1 for gifted & 1 for the profoundly gifted) is another question, but you really can't argue that the kids don't belong there if they test that high. I know NYC makes the kids score high on 2 different tests (not just one) but their cut-off is lower so maybe that is the answer. [/quote]
