Wow. Have you considered consulting an education attorney.  [/quote]

I am just in shock at the moment, so haven't considered anything.  Honestly, my daughter should have been admitted the first round and we thought it was a mistake.  But now, I don't know what is going on.  We also have an older kid in the full-time program, so we have a sense of the process and believe that the full-time AAP will serve my daughter well.  Yikes.

This is how Asians feel when they receive rejection letters from colleges/universities. Shocked and frustrated.[/quote]

I am the poster above.  We are Asian-Americans. Didn't want to go there but since you brought it up.

Time to address the elephant in the room - is it possible candidates are being denied (or accepted) based on race?[/quote]

Not in FCPS, but lurking... How would the people reviewing the applications know the race of the children?[/quote]

They don’t. People are unwilling to look at what the Teachers are telling them about their child and want to hang onto test scores saying their kid is gifted. The Teacher evaluations are not matching the scores so the explanation is that the Teachers are awful, not that their kid isn’t doing what they should be doing in school.

A high percentage of in pool kids, kids with scores in the 99th percentile are accepted into AAP every year. A smaller percentage of parent referred kids are accepted. There are some high test scores not accepted every year.

The committee knows that kids are prepped for tests. They trust that Teachers are not trying to sabotage kids.

The parents will have a chance to apply again next year. [/quote]
