[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It isn’t advanced academics.  Not sure what it is.  With low scores getting in and high scores getting rejected, it simply isn’t.  There will be lawsuits and rightly so.  It gives certain kids access to a better education and there doesn’t seem to be a rational basis for it.  Someone is going to bring the whole thing down. [b] And considering it costs the county a fortune to maintain this two-tiered system[/b], I hope it does get tossed out.  And no, we weren’t rejected.  We decided the whole system was a farce and went private.

No, it doesn't cost a fortune and the state of Virginia requires some sort of gifted program.  So it's this or something else.  [/quote]

Gifted is considered top 2 percent on IQ tests. That would be a much smaller program and thus much less expensive.  This bohemoth isn’t a gifted program.  It is a hugely irresponsible boondoggle with taxpayer funds that fails to even provide some of the gifted kids with the education that you say the state requires.  It is indefensible.[/quote]

My kid got a 136 on the Cogat and the NNAT.  He hasn't taken the WISC because why would he?  Those scores are top 2 percent.

I'm happy with AAP but even if I weren't, I wouldn't choose private.  So we have very differing priorities for our children.  [/quote]
