[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So what? More students in DC public could hit the cut-off, or score higher, if we had GT ES programs, test in middle schools and more serious application high schools. No more excuses, thanks.[/quote] Maybe. But as was stated upthread, the test favors prolific readers. You don’t need a special GT ES program for that. But there is a limit to how many can get to the finalist round. It is a zero sum game and would have to be achieved by outpacing the private school kids. [/quote] So there is only 1 prolific reader at Basis? Only 1 at Latin? People say all the time how the majority of white students in DC are gifted. Why aren't there more semifinalists? There isn't something saying DC can only have 10 semifinalists or something -- it's a numerical cutoff.[/quote]
