[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone’s child gotten in with a nnat score of 106?  [/quote]

That’s literally the definition of average. It would be a travesty if someone got in with that and basically proof that admissions is a total sham[/quote]

If the Cogat and/or WISC were 106, then it would be very hard to believe that the child should be in AAP.  But the NNAT is such a strange test, it has very little value at all.  It certainly wouldn't be a travesty for a child with a 106 NNAT and other higher scores to be admitted.  [/quote]

I probably shouldn’t admit this, but my child got in with a 108 nnat.  DC was principal placed. I would never disclose that to parents at the school. [/quote]

"Principal placed" is not "getting in"[/quote]

Well, he's in level IV.  I don't know what to tell you, it's on his report card.  Also, he is eligible to attend the AAP center school. [/quote]

Principal placed means that they are in the Local Level IV program because the Principal placed them there. Level IV will be checked on the report card. Only kids selected by the Committee can attend Centers, not Principal Paced kids.[/quote]

My DD didn't get in - her test scores were so so, her second grade teacher couldn't stand her and her GBRS was horrendous. But she was principal-placed. In fifth grade I applied again because I wanted her to have a chance to go to a center middle school where most of her friends were likely to go. I submitted two years of report cards with all 4s, her SOL scores and nothing else. She got in.[/quote]
