[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][Some other dcurbanmom posts cited the measurement error of SAS as reasons not to use them.[/quote] A 130 and 125 maybe basically the same but the standard error is not so bad that they cannot tell the difference between a 130 and a 150 kid or a 130 kid and a 110 kid. So, yes, you can look at SAS for all the 99th percentile kids and find a few real outliers. But statistically speaking there should be very few. The estimate is something like 13 out of 10,000 people have IQs over 145. Each MCPS grade is something like 10,000-12,000 so even if you account for the DC area having a higher concentration of gifted children than elsewhere that means each CES may have only a few really profoundly gifted students and the TPMS and Blair magnets may have a few dozen. The rest are just really really smart kids.[/quote]
