Nah.  IQ is still IQ, whatever your SES - what sucks for kids at high performing schools is that prep is the norm and a non-prepped score, even a 98th percentile non-prepped score, will be considered low compared to local peers, even for a gifted kid.

The preppers wrecked the system.  This is the result.  You break it, you buy it.  [/quote]

Really? I don't think it's fair that my above average kid would get into AAP in a diverse school, but not get in at an AAP Center, for example. It doesn't seem fair that if we move to a higher SES area, my older kid will remain in AAP while my younger kid probably won't get in, even with similar scores to what my older kid had.[/quote]

This is totally not fair. We are at a center/high ses school and my inpool kid did not get in. 140nnat 135 cogat with a 140quant.[/quote]

Your child is likely to have more kids with a similar profile in their regular class then a kid who is int he top 10% at a Title 1 school. Your child's needs can be met in the regular classroom while a similar kid at a Title 1 school will be ignored. [/quote]

I'm not sure about that. Even at a high SES school, genEd will be made up of students scoring as low as 80. Setting aside the noise of the NNAT as measure of ability, a 135 kid would be closer in ability to the 140-160 kids in L4.
