[quote=Anonymous][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]

What was her NNAT score?  If the NNAT score was lower, and the in-pool designations were made based on a combination of COGAT and NNAT, she might have just barely missed the in-pool cut off.  The good news is that 135 is a great score.  If you did the parent referral, and she gets a good HOPE rating from her teacher, she will be very competitive for full-time AAP with a 135. [/quote]

Thanks for the info! This is super helpful. Her NNAT was 130.[/quote]

Why did they change the pool to be only top 10% of each school. Those borderline kids who scored over 135 are all hurt by this.[/quote]

I am confused by this. So before a student could be below the top 10% and still get in pool because they are in the top 10% of the county?? Is this meant to be more equitable because it's addressing local needs/norms?[/quote]

This will help kids at the bottom. Kids at top likely have parents who can refer them. The kids who are likely most hurt are those kids who would have gotten in under old system whose parents don’t refer.[/quote]

When you say "kids at the bottom" do you mean kids who in a less competitive pyramid/school and have scores that would not have gotten them in pool previously but would now (because the cutoff is relative to school scores not county-wide scores)? Just making sure I understand.[/quote]
