[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]how is everyone so sure there kid would be "advanced" in other school systems, not just DC? this is an honest question. I am seriously considering staying in a wotp feeder pattern for the long haul, but not convinced with all these parents who seem so self assured if their kid was in FCPS or MCPS, for example, they would be "advanced." DC CAS cannot honestly be that challenging, so being advanced by that is not super convincing IMO. Not challenging the notion there are bright children at Janney, just how do you know how they honestly compare to other school districts, not just other DCPS?

I use the phrase advanced as synonymous with academically gifted.  I had my child tested when my child was younger at a time when we were considering private school (and no, we did not "prep" for the testing).  That is how I know.  It has been born out in the development of my child's abilities over the years.  My child's scores on the DC-CAS also bear this out, but that is not what my assessment is based on.

I thought most kids with well educated parents score highly on the preschool private testing, no? like most kids in the mid 90s or higher? [/quote]
