[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I expect that percentile scores are national. And it looks as if many kids with 99% scores were rejected. So all that this establishes is that MCPS gifted programs are looking for the top .1% to .5% or so, not the top 1%. [b]Maybe they should extend the percentile scores one more decimal point so we can see the difference between a national percentile score of 99.0% and 99.9%. [/b]I think this is a much more logical explanation than some people's suggestions here that their 99%-scoring student was rejected because of diversity or because of their home school.[/quote] Maybe they should tell the raw scores broken down by batteries, kinda like H&G centers used to do. E.g. Verbal - 140, Quantitative - 145, Non-verbal- 142. All those percentiles only confuse things more.[/quote]
