My DC is in AAP with similar scores, combined with a relatively high GBRS (15).

I don't follow. AAP is actually more like 18% of the FCPS students, but what did you write to your congressman about? And are you implying that helped your kid get into AAP?

Just checked DC's scores -- vci 152, pri 131, wmi 107, psi 100

I think there has been discussion in the past about this very thing actually and I want to say a lot of kids with higher FSIQ have wmi that aren't in line with the rest of the scores. They also say VCI and PRI are the 2 most important indicators on the WISC. So I wouldn't overly stress about it, besides the fact that there is nothing you can do about it. Those are high scores.

What were the benchmarks in years past for AAP?

usually between 130 and 132 for the second grade pool -- which is NOT the same as AAP placement.
