[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What kind of scores end up getting referred for gifted services?  The school's gifted teacher told me that the scores are just one of the factors considered (along with teacher referrals, parent referrals, a portfolio of the student's work - I assume the teacher has collected this as I haven't been asked for it).  I'm just curious if its like everything over a certain percentage gets gifted services, or what.  The school's gifted teacher didn't want to commit to anything like that (understandably).  We're in lower ES so I'm not really worried, just more trying to figure out what this process is and how it works.[/quote]

I’m sure this differs by school and maybe year. When my kids’ gifted resources teacher was pushed to answer this question at a PTA meeting a few years ago she said that roughly 120+ would probably put a kid in the pool to be considered. The answer gave me the impression that a score around 120 wouldn’t get a kid services if other work and teacher input wasn’t also in their favor. There was no score given as an automatic in. They’re not dummies- they know that many parents prep their kids for the test and a high score with absolutely nothing else indicating a need for gifted services probably isn’t going to fly.
