Do you have any writing samples from this year? Either handwritten or on her school Google Drive? If she's already getting advanced math, then that's been established (especially if her Performance Matters assessment scores have been high)/easy to establish. She's needing the documentation that she can/needs more in Language Arts/Social Studies/Science. |

My kid is a social studies/language arts kid. I sent slides of a PowerPoint presentation on an historical topic as a work sample when we appealed successfully a few years ago. Along with a WISC. |

Yes, her teacher said she submitted writing samples as well. Not sure what the HOPE ratings were, so I just requested her packet. I have a feeling we're in a competitive pyramid based on other people's comments. She also has trouble finishing work on time in class. We're considering going to pediatrician to ask about ADHD. |

What WISC score is usually needed for a successful appeal? |
Anonymous
is this 2nd grade or 3rd ? If it is 3rd, I would say the MAP is a little bit low, if it is 2nd grade , go to appeal it ,definitely a good score |

Absolutely mention the 2E. AAP loves those kids. |

It's too late for this, but my kids used Reflections (PTA art competition) entries for language arts samples. It's nice because the kids have to write up how the entry relates to the competition theme as part of the entry, so the whole idea of having your kids write about their sample is baked into the competition by its nature. Otherwise for any sample, our AART always said have your kids write a couple sentences describing it. |

My child is a 3rd grader at Springfield Estates. We went to the open houses for both schools. I had been leaning heavily towards staying at the home school, but they seemed to phone it in and couldn't answer basic questions. I'm not sure how one teacher can differentiate to the extent needed when there are AAP and non-AAP kids in the class. Springfield Estates teachers came to the open house to sell their program. There are two 3rd grade AAP classes at Springfield Estates. My child's teacher is very enthusiastic. I've heard good things about the other teacher, too. I have seen what my child is doing and what the kids are our home school are doing, and it's very different. The work isn't hard per se, but there is more of it and the math is accelerated. There is a lot of focus on language arts (vocab, grammar) in addition to math. They also do some interesting projects. Everyone there is extremely friendly. Many of my child's friends also went to Springfield Estates, and they have been able to maintain friendships with kids at the home school, which was my main concern. |

what are the % for iready and map? i have a currently 4th and 5th grader in AAP and a 1st grader. i feel like while nnat and ngat are good the iready and map are average but maybe i’m wrong |

Not average. They're good scores, but yes, it's possible these scores are lower than the other kids who got in at that school. I think around 210ish is the 99% cutoff, but maybe someone else has the exact number? |
