[quote=Anonymous]The program is designed for 'highly able' students. Highly able students do not necessarily score above 95 percentile. To score above 95 percentile, students often get extra parental help (tutoring, for example). Without the extra parental help, those students might very well have scored 85 percentile. And so the 85 percentile criteria seems to even the playing field for the less advantaged. Another point of confusion seems to be the cohorting. Schools that don't have a significant cohort cannot progress as fast in their curriculum as schools that do. So this might be a factor as to why your DC wasn't in the pool.[/quote]
