I'm not OHGrandma (obviously wink ) but the district dd#2 attends ids kids as gifted if they score btwn the 95th to 99th percentile on grade level achievement tests or advanced on the CSAP (NCLB test). In fact, they seem unwilling to take out of level achievement tests like the Explore for dd#2 in lieu of grade level achievement tests on which she is highly erratic. crazy
