Based on my observation during the orientation. half 2nd grader and half all the rest seem right.

Is that a better description for you, 00:40?


Can you take it further? Of the students deemed center-eligible, what percentage is 2nd graders and what percentage is other grades? Does it change significantly the higher up in grade you go? Did you explain this already and I missed it? Thx!

Historically the pool + referred number is made up of about 1/2 2nd graders and 1/2 all other grades.


pool + referred has 1/2 2nd graders and 1/2 all other grades doesn't mean found eligible is 1/2 2nd graders and 1/2 all other grades

That sounds about right. And thank you AAPAC member for filling in the blanks.

If so then, maybe the percentage of 2nd graders eligible out of 13,000 is closer to 10-15% (not 20%) then which seems like a more reasonable number all together.

Carol Horn at last Tuesday's AAPAC meeting. She has said this on earlier occasions as well, but I honestly cannot recall the exact meeting dates/years.

The criteria are harder and many who would have had higher numbers on the old cogat have lower fat score. they did this on purpose.

The rules from last years admissions don't apply this year.
