Yeah, I don't think I've ever discussed my kids NNAT or CogAT scores with anyone outside of family and the anonymous posters on DCUM ever. |

Pp here - so does it mean anything? She is in the 85th (math) and 95th (reading) or so percentile for iReady. |

On it's own, no. Averaged with the CogAT score next year it will determine if she is "in pool" to automatically be considered for AAP. They take the top 10% of kids from each school (or have since about 2020). The committee determining full time (used to be called level IV) AAP eligibility will look at the scores on NNAT, CogAT, iReady, parent referral (fill it out even if your kid is in-pool if you think she needs AAP), parent questionaire (again, fill it out), teacher recommendation, school work samples, and home work samples. Based on their training and knowledge of AAP, the six teachers reviewing your kids' packet will vote yes or no on AAP. If enough vote yes, then your kid is in. If they vote no, you can appeal or wait. If your kid is not in - and sometimes kids with very high scores aren't - they will typically be automatically screened for part-time AAP. |

maybe because we are of a certain race and deeply confucianist and care about academic performance? you guys can chill. these kids will be harshly penalized for their race of birth so 160 is like your 110. |

I have no idea what you are talking about. My comment was specifically that I wouldn't want to be around people who think it's okay to casually talk about an ability test. |

Well, apparently we did. Your post appeared passive aggressive hence the return in favor. |

I remain glad I don't live in your neighborhood then! |

DP. Ha! I understood exactly what you meant PP and I think it’s hilarious (in a dark sort of way). You are not wrong. Racial discrimination against Asian people is rampant in academia. |

Meant to add: we are good. I truly respect the value your culture places on educational achievement. We could probably be good friends. - parent of the rare white kid who got into TJ. |

DP. Not sure why you think snark is the right response. I'm certainly glad we chose a "non-TJ mania" area, unlike yours. And you're wrong about the NNAT scores. |

| For those whose kids got lower than expected scores, my DD only got a 109 on it and had a similarly low Cogat in 2nd grade. She did a retest of the Cogat in 3rd, got a much higher score in the 130s (no prepping, probably is just less anxious about test-taking) and got into AAP for 4th grade. In her case, the early tests did not reflect her capabilities at all. |

NNAT has nothing to do with iReady. NNAT is spatial reasoning and general intellectual ability. iReady assesses learned material. |

Because PP chose to indicate a bus stop conversation about kids' test at school is so unbelievably out of the social norm. Look, you are free to choose whom you associate with, but stop judging other adults' social interactions, maybe? |

There will be a mailed letter informing you the percentile. But 149 is a in the high 90%s. I remember 135 or 132 was 90% so anything above that is great. |
