[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A good pyramid is more important than getting into an AAP.  Just buy in Woodson and let everything fall into places.

The in-pool cut-off is top 10% of combined COGAT and NNAT score of LOCAL SCHOOL.  For example if you have 80 kids in second grade of an elementary school, there would be 8 kids in-pool. [/quote]

Ok, but what if I want both, like many do? But it's not just top 10% right? There's also parent referral kids, which will partially overlap with the in-pool kids. Is 10% the total number selected from the base school? [/quote]

Of course we all want both, that's why there are preps.  All I am saying is that don't buy in less competitive HS just to go to AAP.

The 10% is the in pool threshold.  The top 10% of the kids in that elementary school will be in pool, no more, no less.  The total AAP kid from a school is way more than that.  Because in my son's elementary school there are 88 kids, so in pool is ~ 9.  But the center school has approx one class for each feeder elementary school, so the total AAP kid from his school would be in the 20+.

That would put it at more than 20% per school though?

Also, why not buy in a less competitive elementary school zone for AAP? If I want to hedge my bets, all else equal, sounds like I should go where my child's test scores are going to be in pool or there are fewer parents preparing carefully crafted packages to get their DC's in despite subpar scores/ratings.[/quote]
