[quote=Anonymous]Teacher/school counselor recommendation (mostly, whether the particular student's academic needs can/cannot be met at the feeder school) is a huge factor in selecting among students from the same feeder school who have comparable test scores because any particular HGC is simply not going to take 10 students from a single feeder school even if those students' test scores are higher than those of students at any of the other feeder schools. In other words, if only 2-3 third-graders from one school make the cut, then the teacher recommendation won't have nearly as much impact (unless it's decidedly unfavorable) as it would if 4 or more students are equally "qualified" for HGC selection.
