[quote=Anonymous]Seriously, you are all focusing on the age. The fact that FCPS "locally normed" the test was not based on age. What they have done is grouped the schools based on heterogenous factors and then set up a percentile ranking based on that group of students. So, if your child is in a high-performing school, your child's percentile will drop. The net effect of this is that every school will provide the same percentage of kids into the pool. The reason that you're not getting a raw score is because FCPS doesn't want you to know that your child's score of "132" is judged as lower than a "122" in another school because your locally normed 95% is "134" while the other school's locally normed 95% is "120". It's a mean to expand the pool of candidates, adjusting for socio-economic factors - not age! [/quote]
