Yeah, it's scary. DD really didn't have a fair shake in the GT assessment process. We have no doubt she's gifted. There are just too many signs, and too many people (including all of her teachers) have said so. That many people can't be wrong about her. She did fine on the STAR test (93rd or 94th percentile, or something like that), but it's not really an achievement test.
They use DIBELS for referral, too. Don't get me started on that one!
It will be interesting to see what DD does in the spring on the OLSAT and SAT. We may also do private testing.
