[quote=Anonymous][quote]That kid is objectively in the top 2% where as the referral kid is in the top because of the "subjective" opinion of the teacher and the AART. [/quote] Well, the kid is "objectively" in the top 2% IN TERMS OF TEST SCORES. Test scores are not the only measure of giftedness, nor are they necessarily even an accurate measure for all children. The County considers criteria other than test scores to be relevant. Otherwise, there would be no screening process. They would just pick a cutoff score for the tests and everyone above it would be in. Kids who are referred and found eligible on the basis of other factors are in the Center just as legitimately and deservedly as kids with high test scores. [/quote]
