[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD's scores: NNAT 136, COGAT Verbal 133, Quantitative 139, Nonverbal 125, Composite (VQN) 139. We did not get any notifications regarding being in-pool. I did parent referral but felt that work samples were not very strong. We are in a pretty competitive pyramid. I am prepared for either outcome but was curious if someone with experience had any feedback on these scores.[/quote]

Check out page 38 and 39 here: https://go.boarddocs.com/vsba/fairfax/Board.nsf/files/BPLQKV69B096/$file/FCPS%20final%20report%2005.05.20.pdf

The mean scores shown there for accepted students are so far [i]below[/i] what's regularly reported here as to be totally silly. DCUM is Lake Woebegone, where "all the children are above average." [/quote]

That is interesting! I also have hard time believing the report. Chatter in the neighborhood makes me think that the requirements for admission are incredibly high, though nobody is volunteering to share their scores. I completely understand, just don't really know how to interpret the scores. One parent told me that "everyone is in 99th percentile here." I suppose it could be true since the percentiles are calculated on the national level. Had a meeting with DD's classroom and AAP teachers and still completely in the dark about how she really is doing. They all gave very neutral and noncommittal answers. I do think my child is smart but I don't really have a point of reference, she is my oldest  [/quote]
