[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are limiting the pool to make it easier for committee to review thousands of files. Many kids in high SES schools have been scored by above 132 and hence it’s a good idea to limit the pool to top 5 to 10%. 
Anyone who feels their child needs AAP can refer. Why bother about the pool? [/quote]

Because then all they're doing is excluding kids who scored 132+ with no test prep and uninvolved or uninformed parents. [/quote]

But they’re capturing more kids with uninformed parents at lower SES schools (where the uninformed parents are statistically more likely to be).  So the net result is more smart kids identified.[/quote]

What are you talking about? How could anyone know whether decreasing necessary scores at some schools and increasing them elsewhere means more kids are being screened?  None of us have any idea what total pool size is this year and how it compares to prior years.[/quote]

Read the FCPS materials. This is exactly why they did the pilot and why the pilot was expanded to include all schools.[/quote]

This is absolutely not why they did the pilot or expanded it. They did the pilot to bump up the number of some types of students in the pool, not increase overall pool size.[/quote]
