[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]This is the result of turning a gifted program into advanced academics.   When my son was in the GT program, the whole point was the busy work and unnecessary homework went away.  He was very engaged in his school work, at school, but not doing heaps of h homework at night because he and his classmates "got" what they were teaching and didn't need all the repetition.[/quote]  
What year was that? [/quote]

10 or 12 or so years ago they changed the name from G&T to AAP, but it must have been before then because the cutoff for CogAt was still around the same in the immediate years prior - generally between 130-135- depending on the year.   There were no substantive changes to the program at the time either.  They added the Naglieri the next year for first graders.  My eldest is a college freshman and about a third of his class qualified for Level IV AAP and a few more left every year after that.  He did attend one of the "higher rated" McLean ES where AAP enrollment has perennially been high.  My younger DS is currently a junior and his was the first year they offered a real LLIV program- which the majority chose and continue to do so.

9 years ago when DS did it there were quite a few with IQ/WISC of 130. This area has gotten far more competitive and smarter people are here.[/quote]
