[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Shouldn't a kid who has a 156 cogat be discussing skipping multiple grades rather than just attending AAP? [/quote]

I think so too. AAP is not going to be challenging for kids with that high cogat score. I would consider private school or home school. [/quote]

Grade skipping has a lot of social implications, and one test score is not enough to base that on.  IIRC, this child had a good but not extremely high NNAT score.  Classroom performance and other factors may weigh in as well. While I'm not a fan of the subjective factors that go into FCPS's AAP process, I'd want to consider other data and observe how the child interacts with her peers before skipping a grade.  AAP is a different issue.  If 20% of the second grade ends up there, ant kid scoring in the 95th percentile or above on two tests should be admitted.  That allows for variability in test scores, "prepping,"and some room for social engineering to allow for a "holistic" approach without shutting out kids who should be there based on proven aptitude.
