[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is the in pool decision made by the school or the county? And do they use anything else beside cogat, e.g., iReady, first grade report etc. [/quote]

I understand it's some combination of cogat and nnat only but no one knows exactly how they are combined. I'm also curious about who exactly makes the decision.

Additionally, if not in-pool, what does that mean? Your child is not in the top 10% of their grade on these tests or something else?[/quote]

Right, if your child is not in pool, all it means is that their combination of NNAT/COGAT is not in the top 10% of the grade.  If your child is in pool, it also means that the school will put together a referral even if the parent doesn't refer.  There's not some magic gold dust that goes along with the in-pool designation that means those children have a special advantage.  All it means is that their COGAT/NNAT scores are higher which looks more favorable to the committee.  The committee will look at everything in the application.  It's highly subjective.  You might luck out and the committee of 6 people that reviews your child's application will say yes, while another committee would have said no.  [/quote]
