I assume your child did very well on the testing, and perhaps not so much in other areas. I always think it is funny when someone posts like you did.

You know what happens when you assume, right?

No, my two kids had mid to upper 140s on both screening tests and one had a 14 GBRS and one had a 16 GBRS.

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. Didn't you just assume previously? Remember, "your child [i]s a classic case of a high achiever who does not need AAP." You could guess, but couldn't definitely say so. Oh wait, you know all, right?

I'm not assuming, I am 100% certain that this child does not need a special program. I'm sure the child will handle it fine, too. Because the program is watered down and no longer meets the needs of those children it was designed for.

What do you think the chances are with these scores:

NNAT 133 (98%)
Cogat 148 composite 99% (V 139, Q 146, NV 133)
GBRS 14

I'd go with IN. Kids get in with lower test scores and GBRS.

Obviously the local committee sees something in this kid that you don't in your vast personal experience with him.

What is the procedure to request GBRS? Can we ask the teacher or the school office?

[Anonymous]

Ask your AART to see a copy of his AAP packet and you can see everything that is sent to the committee. They will show it to you as long as your school has sent all the AAP packets to the central committee.

Can DD get in with low NNAT (118) and CogAT (115) if she submitted a WISC with 131 FSIQ and received a 12 GBRS? She also submitted work samples, letters of recommendations and we did the optional parent questionnaire.

Might be found eligible; in my opinion, this is likely borderline.

If a kid with those stats do not get in, FCPS has a lawsuit on its hands.

Whoa! Hold your horses. Before you do that lawsuit, please be informed that there is an appeals process.
