No, the results are not online. Call or email the school and ask them.

HI

That’s a very good score, even for this area, and is enough to essentially ensure your child will be tracked at an accelerated learning pace in the public school systems here. Keep in mind a fair number of the “smart” kids In this area score in the 140’s and 150’s, compared to your child’s 138. So you are correct, 99th percentile isn’t all the same. I’m not trying to minimize your child’s score, just providing the perspective I believe you are looking for.

With OPs kid’s score, her DC can join MENSA. A very good score and strong indicator of intelligence. OP should be very proud!

Yes, your child received a very high score on the Naglieri. But as an indication of your child's overall aptitude (ie IQ), the Nagilieri is a rather limited test. You can google it and learn why.

The Cogat is better but if you really want a full picture, get the WISC. You will have to pay for the WISC privately but many parents find it worthwhile. The WISC is generally considered the gold standard but of course with he caveat that there is no perfect test for IQ.

And no school districts place a student in gifted just solely based on tests. They also look at teacher evals, schoolwork, parental reporting.

*humblebrag*

Yikes - just want to give a little benefit of the doubt and less negativity to the OP. I get it. It’s your first kid and while you realize that it is a great score, you’re not sure how seriously you should take it. Therefore, you were just trying to get some feedback about it. I don’t have any guidance for you (sorry!), but wanted to balance out the couple of negative posts

Humblebrag *cough* humblebrag. This really belongs in the AAP forum. I am sure you are bright enough to know exacly what the scores mean. 99th percentile is a concept that is pretty clear. At least you did this on an anonymous forumn and didn't go up to a group of parents and say "I have no idea what this means. My kid got a near perfect score on the NNAT and a very high percentile. I am sooooo confused?!!

Check out the AAP forum. People discuss these scores more there.

Seriously! My bright kid who is already being pulled for advanced work in math and reading only scored in the 35 percentile!! And you know what, who cares? He does great in school and loves it. Between his good school and his privileged home life (even being "middle class" for NOVA is privileged) I'm sure he'll turn out just fine.

Similar offspring? That’s a weird way of looking at the world.

That is a high score locally as well as nationally. Your DD scored very highly. She has a good grasp of visual-spatial reasoning.

I got a letter from Fairfax County Public School with my first grader's NNAT3 scores, with a graph and at the 99th percentile. So what I understand so far is that 99 percentile is based on kids that took the test nationally. So given that this DMV area has highly educated and intelligent parents with similar offspring, I would guess a lot of the students in the FCPS system will also have placed at over, say 95 percentile. So that doesn't help me understand the full picture of how she is in this area.

So with these scores, around where is she at in FCPS? Or in ACPS? Is it kind of being in the top maybe 10-30 percent of your school for your grade (let's say she's at one of those schools where kids test high, with a great school rating of 9). Since she is in FCPS, does that mean that she has a high chance of getting in AAP if her Cogat thing (I frankly only know the term, not what it is) is similarly high?

Raw score was 42 out of 48, scaled score 1665, NCE 99, Stanine 9, Nagliery Ability Index 138. If it matters, she was 6 years and 10 months when tested (she has a Jan birthday so she is on the older side among her classmates).

Anyway, thanks for any input!
