[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD's VQN was 135 but we did not get the in-pool letter. We do not go to a high SES school. Wow. [/quote]

Wow indeed. It’s crazy. Pre-covid cut off was always around 132 for in pool. [/quote]

That's what I had heard! She is my first kid going through this, so trying to figure out this process. Our school is doing Local Full-Time Services for the first time for her class so there is a lot of new info to take in! [/quote]

I have a one who got in pre-COVID who had a 132 VQN and one post-COVID who wasn’t even in pool with a 137 VQN. When they changed to local norms the world got a little weird. [/quote]

So this means by local norms the child is not scoring higher than 90% of peers or something else?[/quote]

Supposedly. It also means it’s a moving target. You could have a year where top 10% of kids score really really high. And years where they don’t. You’ll also get more kids from larger schools.

All of this is, duh, I know. But it’s just changed.[/quote]

So basically schools that have higher proportion of test preppers crowd out the normally bright and gifted kids. Hence FCPS revising policy to reduce the weight of test scores and "in pool" status.

I'm saying this as someone whose DC is bright and quite advanced on language and math by my own and DC's teachers' standards but was not in pool[/quote]

It’s the top 10%. Assuming a standard class size 20-30 kids, that translates to 2-3 kids per class. Is your kid among those 2-3 kids?[/quote]
