[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]14:16 please pay attention to 17:32/17:35's posts as they are correct.

There is no "cut-off" for AAP and there is no "my kid must score at a certain percentage" for AAP. The only "percentage" that a child needs for anything AAP related is a 91% on the IAAT and a pass advanced on the 7th grade Math SOL in order to qualify to take Algebra I Honors in 7th grade (or even 6th grade if the student has successfully the necessary groundwork in advanced math.[/quote]

While there may be no cuttoff, we have all seen that the majority of students who are accepted have a typically high score on the NNAT and CogAT.  The screening levels for inpool students are based on scores on the tests.  We have seen numerous posts about whether a student will make it into AAP based upon test schores.  The AAP acceptance rate was approximately 16% this year.  This "should" reflect the top 15% of performers within the district.  Whether the students who make it into the class are actually in the top 15% is another subject, which has also been hashed out on DCUM multiple times.

Also, while the IAAT and SOL are standards used for middle and high school math placement, they do not determine elementary school math placement.  The poster may have been talking about elementary school math placement.[/quote]
