I’m disappointed in the 135 part.

My other kid was in the 130s and he didn’t get in to AAP.[/quote]

Because the teacher form (GBRS in the past/HOPE now) can tank or make a kid.

Kids in the 100s can get in with a good form, kids in the 130s won't with a bad one. This has been public info for years.

Prepping doesn't make a difference in the case of a kid in the 130s. Having a good form does.[/quote]

If this is true, why bother giving students NNAT and Cogat? Why doesn't FCPS just assign students in AAP by teacher's referral[/quote]

DP - I suppose they would have even more parent objections (or bribes) if they made it officially the AART or teacher's call.  I agree that the GBRS matters a lot, and sometimes it's hard to know what they are going to say on it in advance. (Last year, the AART read a lot more than I did into DS's "creative" responses to some of the pullout exercises they did together, and he got a perfect GBRS rating.)  I also agree with the poster who said that getting additional testing helps overcome a rejection.  First, it shows that the parents are going to be a PITA if the kid doesn't get in, and second, it's another data point which may counter anything less than stellar in the rest of the packet.
