[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OMG...I've been reading this thread thinking that clearly some parents can not be so oblivious to how nationally normed tests work.

Fairfax County with their advanced Chinese-taking AAP kids statistically are not home to the top 20% of high stat kids in the entire freaking country.  Stop. Stop. Stop.

As for the parent whose kid tested 100 points above the I-ready 99th percentile...sorry, but impossible.   Guess you didn't know that the I-ready adaptive cap module doesn't allow for that.

Odd.  I just checked my kid's score report, and it was 560 in the fall of 2nd grade for math.   I guess he doesn't exist, since you think it's somehow "impossible".  I'll trust my kid's actual score report over your opinion.

I have no idea why you keep repeating the idea that anyone is claiming that FCPS has 20% of the high stat kids in the country.  Someone (you?) had some really dubious projections about how many kids would be 30 points above the 99th percentile.  The reality is that kids who are hyperaccelerated in math will score absurdly high relative to grade level.  Iready is an achievement test.  It is not an aptitude test.  Knowing math several years beyond your grade level will lead to very high scores.  It doesn't mean that the kid is 99th percentile in intelligence or aptitude.  A kid who is in the 90th percentile aptitude wise, but is attending cram school and is hyperaccelerated in math will likely outscore the kid in the 99.9th percentile in aptitude, but who has only been exposed to grade level math.
