[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Am I understanding that MoCo doesn't give the CoGAT to all third graders?  They limit who can even take that initial test?

Our non-MoCo Marlyand district tests *all* second graders.  No need for teacher recommendations or parent involvement.  All second graders receive the CoGAT and then anyone above a given cutoff (not sure what the number is) is given the Performance Series test and teacher evaluations.  
It's not a perfect system, but at least you're reaching out to all kids and hopefully catching those really bright kids who may not have parents actively involved or might not currently work to their potential in the classroom.[/quote]

All second graders in MOCO take the InView test.  I am not completely clear on who will take the test in third.  I guess whoever the school recommends.  Additionally, it sounds like a parent can recommend their child as well to take the test.  So no, its not everyone.[/quote]

What is the county's reason for not giving the test to every student?
