[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm surprised at the high ratios people are reporting. Those are kids who got in through scores like the OP suggested? In my son's grade (he's in 3rd this year), they had 4 get into AAP. I know two of the families personally, though, and those two appealed/did a referral. I don't know if the other two got in by scores.

I have a hard time believing 30/100 kids are "gifted".

Our AART seems great and our school is beloved by everyone I know who goes there. It does have a 25% FARMS rate.

Our school had about 70 second graders, the 4 ended up getting in. We are not a center and don't have local level IV. As I said above, 25% FARMS.

I don't think a single person appealed by doing outside testing. I think parents are just happy with our school. I know 3 families personally who have children who got into AAP and chose not to switch to the center school (from different years than my son's second grade class that I gave the numbers on).

I fell like, again, it just goes to show that it's a really flawed program. There's no way there's that big a discrepancy between schools in terms of actual scholastic aptitude. [/quote]
