[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just came across this forum. We received info from DD's (2nd grader) school that she is not eligible for GT.
She was in the GT screening pool and her scores were 116(NNAT), CogAT (Verbal - 116, Quantitative - 119, Non-verbal - 147, Composite - 133).

I wanted to add something - my child along with some of her classmates were moved to a new class with a more experienced teacher (this is a new FCPS school). After talking with some other parents of kids who were in the GT screening pool in the same class(with great scores), I was able to find out that none of them qualified. Most had a low GBRS. I hadn't put any effort in building a "great" relation with the new classteacher or AART this year so I guess that's what showed in the GBRS score (inferred from a poster's comments earlier). Some of the kids in the previous class who didn't have good scores did qualify for the GT center admission.[/quote]

Great post!  I wonder if the Committee thinks DD has ADD/ADHD since there is a 25+ point spread in the scores--DD has a 32 point difference.  I've read on the internet that this doesn't mean the child has ADD/ADHD, just a "red flag."  Maybe the Committee views it the same way?[/quote]
