[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is SES and what does pass advanced mean [/quote]

SES is socioeconomic status - higher SES schools tend to have higher achieving cohorts and higher bars to advanced coursework.

The SOL scoring is 400 to pass, 500 to pass advanced, and 600 is perfect.[/quote]

Thank you I never would have figured that out. We are at a high SES school and the AART said the bar is really high for AAP, why is this the case? I’m not clear on the rationale here to have access to the same rigor. Meaning if my child can’t meet the 99% only club he won’t have access to the same rigor that maybe someone scoring 90% and getting into full time.

Since AAP has gone to localized standards the theory is that if your student has sufficient peers in their local class they don't need a different cohort/additional differentiation. So, a kid scoring in the 92nd percentile who is the only kid scoring in that range needs a different cohort/differentiation, but a kid who is one of dozens in their class scoring at that range doesn't because that group will exist in the GenEd classroom.[/quote]
