[quote=Anonymous]My young 2nd grader was not in pool with either Naglieri or CogAt.  Her Naglieri was a 122.  Her CogAt composite is 122. Breakdown is 132 Verbal, 118 Quant, 108 Non-verbal.

She's had Young Scholars pull outs since K. AART says go ahead and refer.  The thing is, I think I really need something to overcome the scores.  Her teacher tells me constantly that she can't keep up with her, when I ask her.  I asked specifically about AAP today, and she said "X is definitely performing well even at extended levels."I know she's one of 2 children in the top reading group.  Her teacher has told me that homework is differentiated, and that she's receiving the hardest packet they offer.

She finishes her week's worth of homework often in one day.

She's young, just turned 7 in September. If they used the old qualification of 132 on any section, she would be in pool.

Her scores are not impressive, I realize that.  But, since K, her teachers have always expressed how bright she is.  I'm wondering if choosing to send my September child on time is a disadvantage. I'm worried many of her academic peers she has will leave.

Thoughts from someone who is at a Title I school who might have some perspective? Not looking for comments on me choosing a more expensive neighborhood.  LLIV not available.[/quote]
