[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NOT IN (2nd Grade)

NNAT: 120
GBRS: all exceptional (commentary from school also recommended for Level IV)
Currently in Level II AAP for both Math and Reading
put together pretty good work samples from us and school samples were awesome.

I see the previous post where child got in with NNAT 120 and no referral...i can't believe this is true. If it is, it must depend on a school then, and their specific quota for filling out those seats and who knows what. I'm disappointed in the whole process, honestly. In our case, everything else was great except the NNAT score. If it all comes down to test scores, why are we all (school and families) wasting time putting together these packages? Where is the whole "holistic approach" in this?

120 NNAT is 89 percentile. You know 89 percentile is low to be placed in the AAP. The committee needed to see exceptional work samples to justify the exception of letting in a 89 percentile student. It just means that the committee saw even better work samples from other applicants. The process is way too "holistic" in my opinion, with disproportionate weight placed on GRBS. Just read the testing stats of kids that didn't get in despite being in the 97-99 percentile.
