[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ In the state of Virginia, school divisions are required to identify gifted children and provide gifted services.  FCPS uses AAP to meet the state gifted mandate.  Thus, it ought to include all of the children who are gifted.

FCPS somewhat gets around this by deciding that a kid isn't gifted unless the AAP committee says so.  It's hard to argue, however, that a child in the 99th percentile on an individual IQ test would not be gifted.  [/quote]

People should sue. FCPS is not meeting it's mandate if it leaves out gifted kids, i.e. kids in 98% and up.[/quote]

Given the WISCs above FSIQ of 133 that didn't get in, I imagine it is only a matter of time until someone does.

I posted this last year, but I would be willing to bet at least a few parents in FCPS have filed lawsuits, or strongly threatened to do so, over rejections when a kid has scores above the cutoff. [/quote]

Interesting... guess that is why they make such a point to say it isn't based on one score but if you have a child identified as gifted by an IQ test / psychologist, I don't see how you counter that,  especially if they ever had to show they data on scores for children that were admitted with much lower scores.[/quote]
