[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]AAP was not created to serve the gifted, contrary to popular belief. AAP serves the high achievers. Like a previous PP said, being gifted and being a high achiever are not synonymous. [/quote] It was a gifted program when it was called GT, it is still a gifted program after they changed the name. The program didn't change when they changed the name. [/quote] When it was GT, it served about 5% of the students. Now, it serves about 20% who are LIV qualified and another 6-7% who are principal placed in the LIV classrooms. [/quote] When it was GT, they put the top 10% of the annual CogAt scores into the pool and accepted some parent referrals (down to about 125 on WISC, if they were big performing). That has not changed. When my eldest went through it, about 30% of his classmates qualified (McLean ES). Now there are just more ESs with the demographics of that ES. Some of the growth is legitimate. [/quote]
