[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When aap rejects a kid and that kid goes on to score in the 120s on the WISC then aap got it right. This is the process working very well. Now of course the rub is that many kids accepted into aap won’t score above 130 on the WISC either. It’s not fair. But keeping out the 120 kids is exactly what aap is trying to do. 20% of FCPS is in aap? 20% of FCPS kids would not have IQs over 130. So while it seems unfair, you can’t blame FCPS for trying to control the aap population better. [/quote] But they put in so many kids who wouldn't score above 130 on a WISC. They even put in so many kids who score in the low 120s or even lower on the CogAT. FCPS is controlling the AAP population by making a bunch of very arbitrary choices, but those choices aren't necessarily better. I think the vast majority of kids currently in AAP would have IQs in the low 120s or even lower if they took a WISC. [/quote]
