[quote=Anonymous]"only very high level genius like Elon musk or bill gates type kids." As a parent of 2 kids who are profoundly gifted and very quirky, to say the least, I can confirm this is BS. They were both rejected with FSIQ > 3 SD. We are not at a super competitive high SES school. My kids do not fit the FCPS neat-and-tidy profile of a kid who "needs AAP." They don't ask for more worksheets with alacrity. My guess is they appear disengaged because, frankly, they are. One child got in but AAP is still way below their needs. We are having a hard time supporting them. But the system does not automatically select brilliant kids. From what I have observed in my n=1, FCPS selects kids who are above average reading+math and appear to like school. That's it. [/quote]
