And [b]Moco and Fairfax have 3-4% population qualify[/b] yet Janney has 75% that would qualify? My ass! Especially if these are the same kids where only 15% show advanced on PARCC. I'm sorry your "gifted" child that have parents that are college educated, valedictorian, Ivy leaguers should be able to score a 5 on PARCC. Miss me with that 75% gifted bullshit at Janney.[/quote]

Actually, according to the FFX's AAP program, they have 10 to 15% identified as gifted.  MoCo's HGC program has only identified top 2-3%.  I suspect the cutoff is very different between those two programs.  Wasn't VA's National Merit cut off score slightly lower than MD's last year, too?[/quote]

So it's a natural jump to assume Janney is 75%? That is literally the funniest thing I've seen on DCUM this year. For a bunch of "smarties" that barely pass PARCC yet alone get "advanced", you guys sound real ignorant.[/quote]

Uh..no... I was kind of agreeing with you.  Neither MCPS nor FCPS's gifted population is anywhere near 75%, I highly doubt Janney or NWDC is even 50%.  Reading comprehension fail.[/quote]
