[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most appeals of kids whose scores are near the cut get in. FCPS is very afraid of lawsuits which show how a kid with lower scores got in. Aggressive parents will get their kids in every time.[/quote]

Well, they should have to justify [b]why kids with lower scores are let in and a kids with higher scores isn't[/b].  I'd call that common sense, not aggressive parents.[/quote]

Full-time AAP Level IV eligibility is not determined by test scores alone.

[quote]The countywide advanced academic central selection committee is composed of administrators, counselors, principals, teachers, school psychologists, and program specialists.  To determine student eligibility for full-time AAP Level IV placement, the committee evaluates all available data using a holistic approach and looks for compelling evidence that a child’s needs cannot be met in a general education classroom.  No specific score on any one measure determines eligibility.  Due to the size of the district, number of files screened, and timeline for screening process, the committee does not produce individual eligibility reports.[/quote]
