[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On the age adjusted scores, 129 composite is the 97th percentile and not in. So well under 3% of the test takers would qualify.

Either they are trying to drastically shrink the pool or they have a more nefarious agenda.  I wish there was more (at least some) transparency.[/quote]

129 on the age adjusted score is 97th percentile nationally but not in FCPS.  Take a look at the local percentiles to get an idea of what % of FCPS kids scored higher.  But 129 is a great score and shows high aptitude.  [/quote]

Correct, but that's the point.  "gifted" is not a geographic thing, in the top 3% nationally usually meets the definition of gifted.  With the demographics in FCPS 129 is not top 10% so to keep the numbers down, they set a bar based on geography.  They are pretty clearly reducing the number of students who test into the pool.

But you can refer in and it you are the type of student that meets the unpublished subjective criteria you can still get in.[/quote]
