SOme of these scores are surprising.  The new information I assume was generally a 120 WISC which is completely in line with a 118 CogAT and neither of those scores is very high.  I don't mean to signal you out...there are several in this range.[/quote]

Here's the thing (responding to the poster saying these are mediocre scores for a gifted program) I was surprised my DC was admitted with those scores, but I have an older child who went through AAP and is in middle school now and I'm familiar with the curriculum and  I also have no doubt DC will do well in the program.  In fact, I suspect DC will overall perform better than my older child who had much higher test scores but whose strengths and weaknesses are more uneven. The fact is that, in my opinion, the program isn't that challenging.

Many of my child's classmates have been admitted and these kids seem very similar to my DC.

What is the county doing with this program?  I honestly have no idea.  I think it isn't really a "gifted" program anymore and it's more like tracking for the high performing or testing group of kids. But don't blame those of us who are following the rules (no test prep in our house for example) and working within the system that the county has created to do what we think is best for our kids.
