[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't live in that area but just mathematically--how can 5 schools worth of second grade kids (600 kids at least?) only have 34 kids total accepted into AAP, but some of these other schools have 30-40 accepted PER SCHOOL? I am not a math person, but the system FCPS is using is not producing equitable results. That's what, 5% eligible vs. 40% eligible? Since all the files are reviewed centrally and they are actually looking for URM kids (supposedly), what's up with the disparity? [/quote] The answer may be, in part, prepping. [b]But I also think that posters underestimate how smart/gifted some families are and overestimate how smart/gifted other families are. [/b] A WISC of 132+ is really unusually bright. Reading this forum may skew perceptions.[/quote] I don't get what this means.[/quote] It means that gifted kids are not evenly distributed in elementary schools.[/quote]
