So my child can be an example that the committe is not
focusing only on the nnat / cogat scores anymore?

It is actually an example of the NEW "fools in schools" program promoted by Fairfax county haycock level 4 aap is NOW gen-ed quality

Does it make you feel good to say that? I feel sorry for your kid.

.

I am just stating the facts. Because of all the underscoring kids county/principal placed in the level 4 aap class, it has become a gen-ed class. You should feel sorry for my kid who is surrounded by all these average kids pretending to be "gifted"

Post your kid’s scores including all subcomponents of the WISC.

My "fool's" scores were even lower and she is completely thriving in AAP and easily keeping up with all the "geniuses" in her class. If you don't like AAP and think it's like gen-ed there are plenty of private school stress factories that will take your money.

I think you should drop the whole thing and put your genius in an elite private school. What are you doing!?! Run don't walk to BASIS! Your kid's brain is rotting as we speak!

NP. Wow. Fools in schools? You’re talking about a kid, here. Would you say that to the child’s face?

For such kids, AAP L4 is a formality, grade acceleration is more powerful, recognizing the social/emotional and sports needs that don’t exactly line up with academics. In todays times, anything below 145 is an average score for nnat/cogat/wisc and anything below 99% for iready is average. There should be a TJ equivalent at elementary level for the really gifted kids and that doesn’t exist. AAP is all there is

Agree, but they won’t do that here.

We came from a system like this.

What systems were those? - just curious

But I have stuffed folders many times at school and I have a basic familiarity with a good number of the kids in the class and none of them seems gifted. Isnt it something like 1% of people that truly are gifted? Also its called advanced academic program and not Gifted anymore for this reason. I doubt there are truly many kids who aced the cogat and have advanced ireadys in all of the different sections.

Wholeheartedly agree with this... Many of these parents/posters are delusional. Virginia requires Fairfax County to have a Gifted and Talented program, and Fairfax County claims to satisfy that requirement through AAP, which constitutes ~20% of the student body. This itself creates a fervor, as most parents will concede their child isn't truly "gifted", but not many will not concede that they're not in the top 20% and deserving of higher education, especially as the general education appears to be watered down to the lowest common denominator. Shame on FFX County for basically pulling out all of the top performers and making General Education that much worse and thus perpetuating the fervor even more. For reference, my child is in AAP program, so I'm just an angry person in general, not maligned by the program itself.

Not in. It sucks.
Ireadys are on grade level or advanced. Is it worth it to get a wisc?

You could but might be just as helpful to focus on shoring up the verbal component (good writing sample, etc.). When the quant-oriented scores are significantly higher than verbal you need to demonstrate why your child's needs can't be met through gen ed + advanced math.
