The problem with AAP is their are multiple opportunities to self select and appeal

It's not that hard the only criteria should be

Student is in the second grade screening pool. The second grade screening pool is created based on scores from FCPS-administered ability tests given to students in Grades 1 and 2. Pool students are not guaranteed eligibility, but they are automatically referred for screening.

Then say the top 300 or so student scores county wide should be selected for AAP IV.  That's it cut and dry no appeals[/quote]

People should still be able to get a WISC from a qualified provider (maybe just allow GMU) and be screened based on that.  After all, a WISC is a much better and much more accurate test than the NNAT or CogAT.  [/quote]

They should just give everyone a WISC then[/quote]

Maybe give the WISC to all kids who score a 125 or higher on the NNAT or CogAT? Since the WISC is more expensive, use the other tests in order to determine who is given the WISC. Kids with a certain score on the WISC are accepted into AAP. And maybe instead of centers, each pryamid has an AAP only school, so that more kids can attend per pyramid and you remove some of the resource competition between Gen Ed programs and AAP programs at Center schools.[/quote]
