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... [b]guess that is why they make such a point to say it isn't based on one score[/b] 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]

Bingo.  It's not based on test scores, it's holistic.[/quote]
That's awfully convenient, isn't it?  They can reject any child for any reason, and then claim that the process is holistic.  After a point, there need to be some standards or some criteria governing the decision.  One would think that if a licensed psychologist tests a child and declares the child as gifted, then that should at the very least be enough to access a program that encompasses an awful lot of non gifted children.
