[quote=Anonymous]Asian American/Asians are over represented in AAP and TJ. The percentage of Asian kids in AAP and TJ is a good deal higher then the Asian percentage of the population, that is what over represented means. How it happens, why it happens, that it happens is not a slight, it is a fact.

Lower SES kids, who tend to be Black and Hispanic, tend to have parents who are less involved academically when the child is a baby, toddler, or school age. Those kids tend to start off not knowing their letters, numbers, shapes and the like which leads to weaker NNAt and CoGAT scores. The GBRSs/HOPE scores are not likely to match a child’s ability for that reason.

Finally, a child’s admission into AAP at a Title 1 school is not going to affect a child’s admission at a higher SES school. Stop worrying about other kids scores. The poor kid from a Title 1 school is not taking your kids spot at a middle or high SES school and that kid is not likely to be able to move into your school driving down the abilities of kids at your Center.
