[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] AAP is not a gifted program. A Gifted program would meet the needs of the top 5% of the kids and AAP has somewhere between 15-20% of the kids in the County. There is a very slim chance that 20% of the kids in FCPS are in the top 5% of intelligence. [/quote] +1 Half of the kids in AAP weren't in-pool on the CogAT or NNAT even after prepping for them. Many kids in AAP are not scoring in gifted ranges when they do take IQ tests, including OP's kid and one of my kids. Other kids who have 99th percentile WISC FSIQ are being rejected. IQ is not the primary consideration behind who gets into AAP. They're looking for other nebulous qualities that individual gifted IQ kids might not have and individual somewhat above average kids might have in abundance. [/quote]
