[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]80-90 percent is average for Fairfax. The extra they are doing for him b/c is b/c he is Hispanic. I am sure other 80th percentile kids are not getting pullouts.[/quote] PP here. I don't think it's because he is Hispanic, but I could see why it may appear that way without explaining the scores. DS scored at the 92% in Fairfax on the quantitative part of the CogAT. His WISC PRI was 140. DS is very strong in math, but he is average in language arts (VCI scores and CogAT verbal in the 80%). Some of the other kids get pull-outs, but I don't know their scores compared to his. DS received pull-outs in first and second grade before we received CogAT scores, so the school didn't know his percentage. He received the pull-outs because he was one of the strongest math students in the class. I would think if FFX CTY was trying to help Hispanic kids with acceptance into AAP, then DS would have been a decent candidate.[/quote]
