[quote=Anonymous]There is more to being smart, AAP is not a gifted program, then a test score and there are more ways to demonstrate that you are smart then an test score. I would be shocked if a kid who is listed as strong in only Art is accepted into AAP.

It doesn’t matter what rubric they use, the IQ only folks are not going to be happy. And theya re not happy that a kid at a school where the high IQ score is a 132 is accepted into AAP when their kids 140 isn’t because you still can’t see that different kids have had different opportunities and all of that affects test scores. The fact that the Title 1 kid with a 125 on the CoGAT is in AAP at a Title 1 school or a near Title 1 Center is somehow an injustice when your 140 MC/UMC kid has to sit in Gen Ed with the kids who are mainly on grade level.

This is why I want the Centers gone and AAP based only on the local school. You don’t want to move to the Title 1 school so your kid can be in AAP so stop comparing your kids school and scores to the Title 1 schools scores. I promise you, the MC/UMC schools have CoGAT and NNAT baselines above a 132 while the lower scores are clustered at the Title 1 schools. Your kid is getting a better education in the Gen Ed MC/UMC school the the kid in AAP at a Title 1 school.
