[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Given is really only accelerated math in AAP classes, if score 99.9% in reading but math is at 87%, is that enough to get in if COGAT and NNaT and grades are all above minimum threshold? Or does the over 90% have to be in math?[/quote]

My kid got in to the full time AAP program for 3rd with an 89th percentile math iReady, but that was not enough to get her level II AAP in math this year (2nd). There's no "minimum threshhold" for CogAT and NNAT. They look at those with iReady, grades, and [b]most importantly to the committee[/b] teacher recommendation plus your parent questionaire and referral form (you have to do those even if your kid is in pool to give the best picture of your kid). But the actual deciding factor is the HOPE scale, which at least at our school is compiled by 1st grade teacher, 2nd grade teacher, and AART in a committee.

They do HOPE/GBRS every year for every kid. Theoretically you could see at the beginning of next year what this year's HOPE is.[/quote]

What is HOPE? Is that new?

I have 2 kids in AAP and it was GBRS. I overheard a mom with a kid who didn’t get in say something about race but I don’t know if AaP is race blind. An actual teacher said race does matter but I wasn’t even part of the conversation.[/quote]
