Normally it wouldn't even matter but our district has rigid cut-offs/policies and they want both achievement AND IQ (if you can call a CogAT "IQ" which you really can't). And to make matters worse someone told me that they are thinking about eliminating "non-verbal" scores and just looking at verbal and math. They seem to want high-achievers, not "visual spatial learners".
Yes. Schools want high-achievers; they don't want kids who are outside the norm. It creates problems that they then have to solve or ignore.
