[quote=Anonymous]Historically, the GT program had about 5% of students and since the early 2000s has had above 10%. It's always been larger than the top 2%. [quote]In 1964, FCPS created a GT Center program for about 1% of the 3rd through 8th grade students. The Center program expanded fairly quickly to include about 5% of 3rd through 8th grade students, who were selected based on ability test scores. In 1993, FCPS began admitting students to the GT Center program based on a combination of test scores, a Gifted Behaviors Rating Scale form, and other information. In 2001-02, FCPS started to substantially increase the percentage of students admitted to the GT Center program, and also substituted the Naglieri Non-Verbal Abilities Test (NNAT) for the OLSAT. In 2000, 6.7% of 3rd through 8th grade students attended Centers. That percentage increased to 18% in 2011-12. According to an FCPS Assistant Superintendent, the percentage jumped to 27% in 2012-13.
