I agree.  The numbers listed are way too high for gen ed, but they seem embarrassingly low for AAP kids who are supposed to be one grade level ahead.  I'm confused about what type of FCPS school could have produced these numbers.  [/quote]

I am not sure why people think they are high for Gen Ed. We deferred AAP so our son is at his base school. His teacher said that half the kids in his class are taking Advanced Math. [b]He has 21 kids in his class, so call it 10 kids in Advanced Math[/b]. I would expect those 10 kids to be in the 90th percentile, if not higher. I would expect the kids in Level III to place in the 90th percentile or higher for reading. We are in a South Lakes High pyramid.

That's unusual, though.  At my kids' base school, around 20 out of 100 are in advanced math.  At the AAP center, only about 10 gen ed kids out of 90 are in advanced math.  Most schools only have 3 or 4 advanced math kids per classroom.

I also wouldn't assume that most of them would score at or above the 90th percentile.  FCPS guidance suggests a CogAT Q score of 115 for advanced math placement.  This is around the 84th percentile.  [/quote]
