[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A majority of DMV parents think their kids are "gifted"! It gets old. My kid is not gifted tho he does have a keen ability to memorize and retain sports and player statistics.[/quote]

They define gifted as 120 IQ or higher, although I don't know how they account for diversity if that's the case. Do they not care about the strength of a truly diverse student body??[/quote]

...Well, kind of. They want 120 in at least one subcategory. That certainly widens the pool a fair bit.

"Copy of intellectual test report is required for admission to grades 1-8. Applicants must have a qualifying score of “Superior” or “Very Superior” (120 or higher) [b]in at least one test sub-category for admission[/b]."[/quote]
 Then they have changed things significantly since we toured years ago for my oldest who scored above 145 and they said the cut off then was something like 140? 
If they dropped it to 120 then, yes, they should remove that "gifted" label.[/quote]
