Hi, my boy is in second grade Daniels Run, and recently got rejected to the AAP Level IV service. I’m very surprised as his test scores are in the 99 percentile, with NNAT at 160 and CogAT at 144. I’m about to start the appeal process, any suggestions on what should be included in the Cover Letter. And if we should get a clinical psychologist to evaluate. Thank you

Arguably, that's failure to give FAPE, no? I'd seek lawyer if they don't take him.

We are going to take the WISC V, with both scores qualify for Mensa I don’t understand why he can’t get in. He is hyper and active and all over the place which is a typical trait for gifted. Not sure what his teach wrote, which I have requested from the school already, if it turns out that he disrupts classes then that’s a good thing to counter in a cover letter.

He asked for harder math and science worksheets which school was not able to provide, and he ended up self taught multiplication and division, and learned negative addition and subtraction…

That's strange. Could it be discrimination?

If that's may kid and they are anything other than a neurotypical white male, I'm cc'ing my appeal to regional superintended colored as a discrimination claim to get the ball rolling.

Write a letter explaining why your child’s needs can’t be met in the regular classroom. AAP is for children whose educational needs cannot be met in the regular classroom.

If he is disruptive, that could be helpful in showing that the regular classroom just doesn’t work for him.

Happened to my Black kid a few years ago and I thought it was discrimination. A FERPA request a couple years later showed the AART asking the principal multiple times why DC wasn’t in the pool. DC’s third grade teacher pulled us aside and recommended that we parent refer DC in. We did and DC went in for 4th.
If you feel discriminated against, move your kid to a different school

My child was also in Mensa and got rejected for AAP. Stellar test scores, GBRS etc. Didn’t get in until grade 4 (for grade 5.) Don’t bother with lawyers. There are lots of people in your situation. Just keep trying.

This makes zero sense. Why does the exchange show discrimination? The principal and the AART have nothing to do with who is in-pool and who isn’t.

There is more to it and I’m not gonna share everything because some anonymous person wants to be nosey. The principal was discriminating against my p and also a teacher or two as well. I have nothing to prove. I’m just here to support OP.
