[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] FCPS used to administer WISC but stopped because it is too expensive.  It wouldn't be fair to out that cost on families.[/quote]

It didn't have individual wisc tests for decades.  It had cogat and otis lennen.  Went to naglieri /cogat in the early 2000's to increase minority id.  [b]Then the program exploded[/b] and not with targeted minorities.  [/quote]

Probably correlates with the exploding growth in student membership -- see the table on page 4 and the bar graph on page 5:

No.  The final year of cogat/otis lennen resulted in X number of grade 2 going to centers for grade 3.  Those 3rd graders [center and base] year were all administered cogat/naglieri and many more came to centers for grade 4.  That was the dramatic explosion based on change in criteria.  A simple example is:  If 100 kids were in grade 2 about 15 went to centers for grade 3.  Assume that left 85 in the base school for grade 3 plus 3 move ins.  Out of those 88 maybe 15 plus more came to the center for grade 4.  [/quote]

The numbers have increased pretty linearly.  See page 73 of last year's AAPAC report.
