[quote=Anonymous]If we ignore inflated CogAT/NNAT scores due to prep and assume that FCPS kids follow roughly the same IQ distribution that the general population follows, the numbers look like this: There are very roughly around 2000 kids in AAP per grade level and 14,000 kids total. If 2% are +2 SD "gifted", that's 14,000*0.02 = 280 kids. If 0.1 % are 3 or more SD above the norm, that's 14 kids. So, in theory, in an entire grade level at FCPS, there are 14 "geniuses", another 280 gifted kids, and around 1700 bright hardworkers. The gifted shares are possibly higher, since Fairfax county has a more educated population than average. They're probably not a lot higher, since some portion of gifted kids are in private school or are homeschooled. [/quote]
