[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD got in last year for 4th grade AAP and they included the 2nd quarter grades. The school's screening report summary sheet says it was completed 2/28 and the HOPE on 1/24. Her HOPE scores weren't that great even though I only ever received positive feedback about her school performance- a lot of sometimes- and 132 Cogat. [/quote]

OP here. Great that she got in but how frustrating to get inconsistent feedback.

Also this makes me think it's a crapshoot in terms of what will be included and when. Hopefully the teacher still likes DC enough to give decent enough scores. Her review of DC was glowing when I last met her so this has me concerned as it was pretty unexpected feedback.

What is not a crapshoot, they always provide the same info.

When is, but it's school-by-school. Having a strong AART (I really loved ours) makes a huge difference. Ours made it a goal to get to know every kid who was likely to be in-pool or be referred, she helped parents through the process like a high school counselor might help a kid applying to college, and was generally great. And our packets were definitely completed in early February or late January based on when my kids would report having subs because the teacher had a couple days worth of meetings.[/quote]

By "strong AART" do you mean someone who actually helps your kid get in? Ours is very ethical and neutral and does not help in anyway beyond giving us info.

When you say "they always provide the same info", it doesn't seem to be the case if some schools are including second quarter report cards.[/quote]
