[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The score alone does not equal identification. It places your child in the pool. I’m an APS teacher. We also have students who are in the pool because of teacher or parent referrals. Teachers have to provide evidence to support (or not support) students being identified no matter how they ended up in the screening pool. We tend to be on the generous side of supporting identification but not every student in the pool ends up being identified.[/quote]

Thank you for saying "we tend to be on the generous side".

Statistically, 25% of McK ele cannot be "gifted" but they report that stat and yes, both of my kids are cardinals! Cheep Cheep. (my kids are bright but McK's ID rate is astounding). A few other NARL schools have the same or similar rates. CoGAT was 136 and the vp was telling me what a great score it was so I asked about the test. It's like 6-10 questions in each section. Not robust IMO but APS is what it is.

I totally hear all of you with a 2nd grader now. The test won't be given in it's standard form. The kids won't be in their standard ed environment and won't have been for the past year. I assume the grades will be re-normed this year (lower) but not sure.[/quote]
