GBRS and test scores Question

[Lovingmama]

I'd like to hear opinions from parents who've gone through the process with their kids to find out if my child's test scores and GBRS rating would warrant his entry into IV AAP program next year (3rd grade). Let me preface by saying I don't really know much about AAP or what are good/bad scores/ratings - and I'm trying to understand it better. He did not get in for the following year - but I'm wondering if it has to do with his scores/ratings, or if there is something more going on that isn't in quantitative (behavior in class, teacher opinion, etc.). Any thoughts would be amazing. I appreciate your help.

CoGAT - 124
NNAT - 107
WISC - 123 (94 percentile)

GBRS had 2 ratings of "consistently observed" and 6 "frequently observed"

There were only 4 GBRSs categories when my kid went through the process so I have no clue if they increased the number of categories. Two COs and 2 FO (I am guessing that there were not 6 other categories but 2 other categories) is solid.

I looked up a 124 WiSC. The description is Above Average, which is normally not what the Committee is looking for when adding kids to LIV.

As a comparison, the County Wide in-pool test score on the NNAT and CoGAT had been a 132.

FYI - There are only 4 GBRS's not 8. They are just listed twice. The second time is with the teacher's comments.

I would not expect the child described above to get into level iv. You would want scores above 130 and more consistently observed on GBRS.
