[quote=Anonymous]We still haven't gotten CogAT scores but I don't have great optimism about those, given that DC was not in pool (ours is a moderately-high SES elementary school in a ~ "top five" pyramid). NNAT was 124.

So DC wasn't in the top 10% based on test scores. What does this actually mean? I put together as strong of a parent packet as I could without misrepresenting my child, but ultimately I don't know how DC compares to others at school in terms of brightness. (DC's not gifted, but is positive about learning and is bright and learned math/reading at home easily).

Should I rethink this whole AAP thing? If a child isn't in the top 10%, at least in terms of test scores, maybe they don't belong in or need full-time AAP? DC is receiving subject specific enrichment (LII) but I fear it's not enough. I will say that DC is definitely languishing in language arts and math. And we try to supplement at home and provide enrichment so that DC is still learning something as the days pass. It bothers me a lot for DC to be in school not really learning much. But at the same time, I don't have the greatest patience or consistent amounts of time/energy to devote to home enrichment. I do what I can but I feel it's not enough at times.
