[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It would save a lot of time if they had test cutoffs--e.g., reading level of 28 and 98th percentile is an automatic in, or something like that.[/quote] But that’s going backwards. These types of programs used to get filled that way. People finally came to realize test scores aren’t everything and they need to look at more. Yes, it is harder and difficult to ensure consistency, but that doesn’t mean going back to the old way is better. I think they genuinely do the best they can and allowing appeals and referrals every year in addition to outside testing (i.e. WISC, SB, etc) as well as allowing one re-test is a pretty good attempt to ensure catching kids.[/quote] I don’t know. I was in FCPS GT in the 80’s and everyone in my class seemed legitimately really smart. Can’t say the same for my kid’s AAP classmates. [/quote]
