[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question from someone less familiar with this process and the CoGAT... my DD will be coming from another district to FCPS next year. She is currently in GT where we are based on her CoGAT... which was a 123, but says 94th percentile. But this was a CogAT from 2017. Is it fair to compare her scores to those being shared here or is it different year to year? Trying to gauge what chance we have of getting her into AAP when we move! THANK you![/quote]

I have read online, so we all know that this infomration is correct, that many school districts use scores in the 90th or 95th percentile to set their GT programs. The program in this area would be huge if that was the case. There is a higher then average number of people with advanced degrees, which tends to mean parents with higher then average intelligence and a strong interest in their child doing well in school. The in-pool threshold for most of the ES in FCPS is in the 99th percentile. My kids ES was one where most of the parents did not move their kids to the base and our in-pool score is in the 132 range. The scores at schools were parents are very interested in kids getting into AAP have in-pool scores in the 140. The only schools that fall below that are the Title 1 schools, so high FARMs, those schools seem to have test score numbers closer to your child's score.

I believe that FCPS looks at what program your child was in before the move and takes that into condiseration. I have no idea if they will see the old CoGAT score. I know people who moved into the area whose kids had to take the CoGAT at the beginning of the year and were placed in the AAP class after the scores were released. [/quote]
