My daughter's CogAT scores were sky-high, so we never had to worry about this the first time around.
My DS8 (who has autism, in case that's relevant) tested for the gifted program (again) this year, and his CogAT scores are 127 Verbal, 151 Quantitative, 116 Nonverbal, 140 Composite. The district standard is "Two CogAT subtest scores at or above 132 SAS (Standard Age Score), one subtest score at or above 126, and the composite score at or above 132." This wording is a little ambiguous, at least to me - it's hard for me to tell whether it means that the standard is
- three subscores over 126, with two of those over 132, AND composite over 132
- (two subscores over 132) OR (one subscore over 126 AND composite over 132)
He would meet the second half of the latter, but not the former. His teacher and parents both think he would benefit from the program. We have to appeal by April 3 if we are going to.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
