[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At any rate, the distribution of scores among 3rd - 8th graders in FCPS isn't going to tell you much about the distribution of scores among preschoolers in the metro area who take the WPPSI because they're applying to private schools. Different ages, different tests, different populations.[/quote] I would agree with this. My original point was simply that one should not brush off an IQ score of 131 as the norm. It's easy to do on the private school forum because in the environment of DC privates it's seen a lot more often but this subset is quite small in terms of the area at large. A child with that score would probably be okay in their local public (ie., wouldn't be disruptive or depressed). HOWEVER, this child would likely THRIVE in an elite private, public magnet/GT center, or private gifted school and if a parent has one of these options they should pursue it.[/quote]
