[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hard to find a common metric to compare, because the private school kids aren't taking the same assessment tests as the FCPS elementary kids.  On the WPPSI/ERB test, FWIW which might not be much, my kids are in the high 140s and low 150s, and my sense is most of the other kids are in that same general area.[/quote]

150 IQ is 1 in 1000.  And you have multiples in your family, and 'most' of your school is also there.  Truly amazing.  [/quote]

Yeah, that's why I take WPPSI scores - and scores from other similar tests - with a grain of salt.  Similarly, the 137 IQ needed for the AAP program is 1 in 70 rarity.  But I've read that approximately 30% of FCPS students are admitted to the AAP program.  That seems a bit off too, doesn't it?

Nevertheless, my experience is that the private school elementary kids as a group are pretty darn bright.  I'm not sure of any meaningful way to compare them with the average FCPS AAP student though.  Open to ideas.[/quote]
