[quote=Anonymous]For OP, my child is probably around a 20 or so.  I volunteer weekly in the reading class and I spend most of my time with the kids who are a little behind or right on target (very little time with the ones who are ahead).  I know where most of the kids in the class are.  In a class of 22 kids, there are about 5 who are ahead (some WAY ahead, and a couple like my daughter -- just a little ahead).  There are a couple who are noticeably behind the benchmark, and the rest are right on target to hit the DRA 16 for the end of the year (maybe about 4 of these will be an 18 by the end of the year).

So, 16 is really normal, but it's great to be above that.  I don't think you can extrapolate that a child whose DRA is above 16 is going to be gifted or in AAP.  My child is a good student, and her teacher thinks highly of her, but even if she finishes the year at a 24 DRA, I don't think she's particularly "gifted."  She's very well could just be a "good student."  (which is all I ask!)
