The point SHOULD be if my child scored above 132 in NNAT and COGAT, has great work samples, is getting advanced math services and gets a good GBRS, they belong in AAP regardless of what SES school they attend.  [/quote]

1.  So fill out a parent referral. Your hypothetical kid will probably get in.
2.  If the same school has 20 kids with 140+ scores, then maybe your child doesn't belong in the classroom with those kids.  Those kids need a lightning fast gifted program, and your kid would just slow things down for everyone.  
3.  Many of the high SES schools use AAP materials for everyone and have multiple levels of advanced math.  When most of the kids are advanced with reasonably high test scores, basically everyone is in AAP.  So, it doesn't matter.  [/quote]

My very much real kid is already in pool while being at a high SES school. I don’t need to parent refer if I choose not to. You all think it’s so easy to get a 140 with some mere parent prep. It’s not! That’s why even kids in high SES schools don’t get that score. Are any of you guys even in a high SES school? Trust me there aren’t walking geniuses walking in the corridors lol. There is only ONE third grade AAP class at Churchill. There are only two fourth grade AAP classes. I trust the AAP process and I do believe the committee for the most part knows what it is doing.
