[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In APS does gifted really mean average - there doesn't seem to be a specific hurdle.  All of the parents we know have children gifted in something - almost like a participation trophy.  [/quote]

30% at some schools like Cardinal. There's magic in that water. Weirdly, that's not the gifted rate at ATS which is in the old McK space. So, must be something else...[/quote]

The ATS rate is higher than Cardinal...what are you saying here? [/quote]

Your quoting me. I had no idea ATS was that high. That's amazing.Like, I'm amazed that a data-driven school has an impossible gifted rate.

I'm a child psychologist and I worked in a summer ADHD program at my university. They used 140 as "gifted". Sometimes in the literature, 130 is used but never is 120 used. Ever. [/quote]

120 is the beginning of an automatic referral, not an automatic identification. Additional data is collected to determine the eligibility and in which area(s). [/quote]

Is that APS-wide or school policy? I’ve never seen a number published by APS. 120 does seem low, what percentile is that? [/quote]
