What category was the OO?

Motivation

This makes sense with his misbehaviors and classroom issues. He can test off the charts every year, but the GBRS is going to more accurately reflect the student.

DP. Several years ago, DS got a 2 in Motivation (accurate). Still got in first round. Low motivation isn't a reason to turn down a kid.

Low motivation is not the same as hyper and disruptive.

Certainly can be.

There are a lot of ADHD kids in AAP. Really, a lot. If you think you're going to be getting away from them, you aren't.

Look, if OP thinks her hyper, disruptive kid is going to suddenly become a model student in AAP, then she should, by all means, appeal and apply again. IME, kids like the one she has described aren't rambunctious because their needs aren't being met and would not be best served in the AAP environment I have witnessed with my own children. But she knows her child best, and the teachers will evaluate how they seem fit. None of our speculation or excuses for his misdeeds are going to change a single thing. Good luck to all involved.

NNAT 130
COGAT 125
GBRS 4 CO
Fairfax HS Pyramid (Title 1 ES)
2nd Grade
Result - NOT in

We're trying to determine if we should appeal - we had the WISC done last weekend, so I think we'll let that guide us. My daughter is a perfectionist and that seems to be resulting in significant testing anxiety where she overthinks things. I've been wondering if that impacted her NNAT and COGAT scores. She really enjoyed the WISC, probably because she could talk through her reasoning. She's incredibly bright, fast learner, creative, crazy vocabulary, always inventing machines and games with complex rules, etc. She gets pulled out for Level II, and her AART and classroom teacher did a really thorough job on the GBRS, with lots of highly detailed examples for each component (rated Consistently Observed on each). I was hoping their assessment would carry more weight to account for the fact that some kids don't test well, but I suppose not.

Thoughts? Are her scores just too low?

If the WISC is 125+, should get in on appeal. I’m surprised with those gbrs that they didn’t get in. What were the sub scores?

For our school, these are very low scores for AAP. Maybe have her retake the COGAT in the fall. Kids can retake 1 more time, Carol

For a title I school zoned to FHS, those are NOT low scores. The perfect GBRS should have easily caused PP’s kid to get in.

OP is here. WISC score is out, 154 here 99.9%, every subcategories are above the 99 percentiles. Should i be submitting the full report? what's the standard on submitting the WISC score on appeal?
