[quote=Anonymous]Since I like numbers: The median and SD for CogAT composite scores for white kids in FCPS is 112 and 14.3. This means that only 8% of white kids in FCPS meet the nominal threshold of a 132 CogAT. Yet, a whopping 20% are accepted into Level IV AAP. Likewise, for Asian kids, mean and SD are 115.7 and 15.5, which means that around 14-15% of FCPS Asian kids meet the 132 threshold. Yet, a whopping 33% are in AAP. Trimming the number of white and Asian kids is a good idea. They're just trimming the wrong ones. If already privileged kids can't at least come close to the 132 benchmark, then they don't belong in the gifted program.[/quote]
