[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]By black child who got all 4s in K-2 and was above reading level bombed both the NNAT and CogAT. We paid for a WISC and she scored a 152. She got in on appeal. Many people, especially URMs, don't have the money or wherewithal to appeal. As was discussed in the WaPo article last year. [/quote] I think there's also a lack of information in URM communities that kids who receive free or reduced meals can receive either free or discounted (I'm not sure how much) WISCs at GMU. Also many most just don't even know about the WISC in the first place. The other issue is many people in Fairfax County prep their kids with the prep books and while FCPS says you only need a good night's sleep, URMs tend not to know about these books. Asians are good at sharing this information among themselves, maybe other URMs in the know need to do the same. [/quote]
