[quote=Anonymous]Can someone who is not Math challenged like me explain the 99th percentile references. According to this WA state school website, the SAS scores for the 99th percentile range between 135 and 160. That is a large range and if you are rejecting a kid from Cold Spring with a score of 150 to accept a kid from another ES with a score of 137, chances are these kids are an entire standard deviation from each other in terms of aptitude/ability (not sure what the correct word is). On another website they said that for SAS scores the mean is 100 and the standard deviation is 16 points so in the example I just gave there would be a big difference between these two kids. There is no doubt that both students need much more than an honors class in a typical MCPS MS would offer but the higher scorer would need the enrichment and acceleration more than the lower scorer surely. https://www.nsd.org/Page/28102[/quote]
