[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree the range is more important than the mean and median.   But as we did not get it from the MCPS letter, what can we do?

Another question is how to evaluate those scores.  Below is an example.

Verbal	Quant	Nonverbal	total
Median 	134	131	129	394
Child A	150	126	129	405
Child B	134	132	129	395

Assuming Child A and Child B are from the same consortium, and have all O’s and A’s in their report cards, their recommendations are also similar, who has priority to be selected?

My kid was basically Child A in the example above (scored 8 points above median, same as median, and 1 point below the median on the admissions test) and was not selected for placement (and yes, my kid has all Os, As, and Is on report card, is above grade level in reading and math, and was highly recommended by teacher/principal).  And no we're not appealing because, at the end of the day, there probably isn't any meaningful difference between Child A and Child B because both would be well placed in the HGC program. [/quote]
