[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reason all of the data is considered and not just the test scores is that people in this area tend to try to "prep" their kids for everything so they score higher than they would otherwise. If a child had high test scores but a moderate or low recommendation and average classwork they might be denied on the assumption that their test scores are not an accurate representation of their ability. [/quote] I do see your point however, in my case, DC was not prepped in anyway and the teacher was wrong. [b] DC is excelling at the AAP center this year[/b].[/quote] yeah well who isn't? Not that tough really. A little compacted math and some more in-depth type assignments than regular school and that's about it. Was happy my kid got in, but DC reports to me it isn't nearly as challenging as was expected. I have heard they don't boot anyone out, so once you're in your in regardless if whether the kid excels or not.[/quote]
