[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is in second grade FCPS and we’re getting ready to submit an application in December

Does anyone know how far back the report cards go? Does it include all of first grade plus second grade Q1? Does second grade Q2 get included too in the file?

Thanks![/quote]

1st grade and 2nd grade Q1[/quote]

I didn't know report cards went in - my very smart DD had a teacher who gave all the kids all 3s last year. Will this negatively impact her?[/quote]

No one knows - but pre-pandemic 3s were good. My DC got in first round with mostly 3s and occasional 4s.  And lots of 2s in behavior.[/quote]

Everything about the AAP admission process has changed since pre-pandemic times. (I have a child who got in before and one after).

With the move to local norms, your child is pretty much competing for spots against the other students at your school —  On NNAT/CogAT, iready, report card, GBRS, work samples, etc. it really just depends on how your kid measures up against their peers on all those pieces combined.

So 3s on a report card doesn’t really matter if the committee sees that all the other students at your school are graded similarly and the rest of the packet makes a strong case that your child needs AAP. [/quote]

The in-pool cutoffs have changed but packets are still sent to the central committee.  How much has their evaluation and decision-making changed?  Do we know or just guessing?[/quote]

Guessing but The local committee also determines what “strengths in” means in their school and whether or not they check those boxes on a student file to send to central committee. There’s no hard number for these boxes and local committees are still figuring it out — this can be executed well or very very poorly.

So while we have no idea what committee members are thinking, the local committee determines the file that is presented based on whatever criteria they’ve established for the local school. There used to be more clear countywide parameters (NNAT/CogAT scores, DRA). [/quote]
