Here, there's everything you need here: https://www.fcps.edu/academics/academic-overview/advanced-academic-programs
You an usually submit in order to transfer for 2nd semester - a few kids always joined in 2nd semester of 3rd and 4th at our center.

The Parent Guardian Questionaire? Our AART always said submit it - you want to paint the most complete picture of your kid possible. Think of it like a very mini college application with all the essays and stuff.
For each question, you want a story illustrating the trait you can show in a couple sentences.

From what I've seen, the IQ test scores don't mean much these days. iReady is a big pull and teacher input. Likely MAP this year.

To get designated universal screener, is it based on an average of the tests over the first and second grade year, or is it something else (for instance the lowest percentile received on any of the tests)?
My 2nd grader has done well (98/99% on all his tests) to date, just wondering if those alone would get him a universal screener designation or does the ngat have to be in that range too?
TIA
It used to be an (we suspect on this board) average of NNAT and CogAT composite. No clue what it will be with new testing.
iReady has nothing to do with it.
That said, always submit the parent referral anyway.
Thank you! Much appreciated.

The NGAT does have multiple scores and is given on multiple days. It will be fine.
