[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is not a limited number of AAP spots. Stop with the false narrative about one group taking away from another's spots.

Agree with PP who noted that the spanish speakers are from Spain/otherwise white. I've noticed the same. Our kid's class had AA.

The criteria for admission should stay the same or go higher for AAP. The answer is not to water down the pool. That does not serve the bright kids who truly need the advanced pace. [/quote]

The false narrative is that there is unlimited space (physical space), unlimited resources (teacher availability) available to each school and no racial profiling going on.  It's people like you who are spreading the false narrative.  If any of that was true, FCPS could just put out thresholds (enough to capture a certain % of URMs) and say anyone who meets the threshold is in.  You wouldn't need a central committee to screen anything.  It's an in or out decision, based on some numerical criteria whether it be CoGAT score, GBRS or some other value.

Um, there are [b]threshold minimum limits[/b] to what kids must score on the CogAT and NNAT. [/quote]

...and the kids below that threshold (132) are in LIV and the kids with top CogAT and NNAT scores are out.... Kids between 110 and 120 from our school were accepted in LIV, and kids with 139+ were not.[/quote]

Are you arguing that black/brown kids had 139+ and didnt get in or are you mad that white kids below 132 got in?

There is a threshold. A child not hitting that threshold is the exception not the rule. [/quote]
