[quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why people assume that most of the kids in AAP aren't gifted. The selection criteria that is used is stricter than for many other gifted programs in the nation. The definition of gifted is not vague, it is typically understood to be greater than or equal to two standard deviation above the mean, which equates to the top 2% (above 130) of the general population. I know that the district accepts more students than that into AAP, but it is not a typical school district in terms of demographics. Of course it would be best to get a WISC on every student, but they are expensive tests and the COGAT and NNAT are well respected tests to identify intellectual giftedness.[/quote]
