[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let me guess OP— Western county private Montessori elementary school that serves an exclusively Indian American population.

It does does not use the secure Fairfax County version of the Cogat, and has every single one of their 2nd graders test into the 99% on the Cogat and NNAT? Right?

Remember the scandal my 8th grade DD’s year (so 6 years ago) where kids in these schools were found have been prepped using the actual test? I do— it’s why DD’s AAP class was huge. FCPS does. It’s why they had to develop the Secure Fairfax County CogAt.

They told you why they didn’t accept the CogAt/NNAT.  It isn’t that there is a quota coming out of your kids private school, per se. It’s that they don’t think you have valid test scores. Because they don’t believe that in a class of 20 kids every single one is in the top 1%.

As for the appeal by Dr. Dahlgren.  Maybe it was unintentional. But you picked a, ummmm, controversial tester.

OP— if you are on the up and up give FCPS transparent scores the can rely on.  Maybe the Cogat and WSC scores are legit.  But from FCPS’s perspective, they look super sketchy.

You have to wait a certain amount of time between WISCs. So start 3rd grade in GE.  Ask for an FCPS administration of the CogAT next fall and get a GMU administration of the WISC next fall. Your kids FCPS teacher and AART can do a GBRS. If the scores hold up, your kid will be admitted in the fall and can switch to an AAP classroom or Oak Hill in the spring. Or in 4th grade if you would rather. A GE classroom at Floris will be fine for a semester or a year.

Your kid has a much better chance getting in for 4th grade if you transfer to Floris, where they can get a GBRS and CogAt they trust. If you stay in private, GET THE WISC DONE BY GMU.

Op here

Thank you

Great inputs ,  we were not aware of the controversy or kids being prepped with actual test . By the way he is not going to the school mentioned above

We are moving him to floris as we don’t want to go through this once again. Feel the same way he has better chance to aap from floris rather than from private [/quote]
