[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just don’t understand why they test at all if they are going to 100% base it on GBRS. I think the county has quotas based on the new ‘One Fairfax’ equity initiative and each school has to participate in making the AAP program look the way they want it. Not that it doesn’t make sense, kids who don’t have resources to prep and don’t have a stable home environment would benefit most from a center based program. And it would reduce bus shortages and a whole range of issues the county has. I just wish they were upfront about it. Instead of this ‘your kid scored in the 99th percentile on the COUNTY ADMINISTERED test and doesn’t qualify for an advanced program because the teacher heard them make fart jokes instead of solving Pythagorean equations in a second grade classroom.’[/quote] I know someone who had great GBRS and lower scores that did not get in, so it is not solely based on GBRS.
