We live in an affluent, highly educated area. Our schools are in the top 5% in california.
Our district tests all third-graders with the OLSAT, but they will also accept some private testing with the WISC and a few other IQ tests. To qualify for our gifted program, your child must get at least a 96th percentile total plus 96th percentile on either verbal or nonverbal.
I recently learned that 15% of the third-graders in our district got at least one 99th percentile on some part of the OLSAT or a private IQ test. Does that seem too high??
