My CES 5th grader has always tested inside the 99th percentile (latest was 262 for math and 250 for reading), but  did not win the lottery to get into the magnet middle school. We plan on enriching the home school curriculum ourselves and seeing what new hobbies she'd like to take up.

I have another child who is 2e and he always tests around the 97th-98th percentile (but he takes days to complete his testing).  Since I know exactly how good their understanding is for each of them, I have come to realize that there is a significant difference between the 97th-98th band and scoring within the 99th band: the extreme percentiles have a lot of spread in cognitive thinking. It isn't the same spread as the one between the 50th vs the 51st percentile range, for example.

Hm. I have two very different kids who both score in the 99th and of also say that there seems to be a big spread but actually it’s all about my own biases. The kid who sounds less articulate than the other is actually the higher scorer. I’d guess it’s the same in your kids case.[/quote]

PP you replied to. In our case, my daughter definitely has more abilities than her brother, or myself, really. It's rather obvious in our day-to-day interactions.[/quote]
