AAP admission stats 2015

Reading all these posts is making me so sad for these children. Maybe the haiku writer is incredibly gifted in math. I can't believe how judgy and pushy so many of you are. I came to this site hoping to find out about AAP to help me decide if my son should do it next year but you are all making me not want to have him go if these are the kinds of parents we encounter. I can only imagine how your children act.

Thank you for saying this. We're also trying to decide what the best fit is for our kid, and DCUM has really pushed me towards staying at our base school.

Super low GBRS. Wow! Appeal with WISC and strong letter.

Which tester did you use?
What was the score breakdown?

A 129 isn't a very strong appeal score, and they won't consider a GAI that is only 1 point different, but if there is a strong subsection,you might have a stronger package.

Then shouldn't he receive level III services? As mentioned above, couldn't his current placement kill his confidence?

This is one assignment, I wouldn't assume that the child sucks at language arts just because he wasn't a poet and/or potentially had an off day.

Not an off day. I appreciate you trying to find the possibility that this was a one off time, but it is not. Child has been in my child's class every year for the last four years. His work in the hallway, sent home (via the teacher by email when there is an assignment they have all done, etc.) is consistently like this. From the beginning of the year (hanging outside class at Back to School night, to their big research project, to their biography project, to their poetry, etc.)

you seem to have a really weird and inappropriate obsession with this child...

We have a boy who appears during writing exercises not to be as strong (but is very verbal in person). He does really well for wordmasters but is top (100% right) for continental math. You judgemental mom cannot be judging for their art/project work. What if you saw someonw who was just so creative drawing/expression and then just did not excell grade-wise. You are not a teacher- teachers arenot perfect but it's not your job to judge.

Hello, I am sorry if I am posting in the wrong forum - but I really needed some guidance. My daughter tested for the NNAT in 1st grade and got only 118. She is yet to test the CoGAT in 2nd grade, but I am struggling with the decision on whether we should have her take a NNAT retest at GMU or not in September 2015. Or shall we wait for January 2016 until after we have her CoGAT scores? The parent referral deadline is usually February 3rd or so and so was confused as to what I should do...

I know she would do extremely well in AAP but I know she may not make it based to the pool on her NNAT result.

I would sincerely appreciate some advice. Thanks much!

The score on the other thread is 118. The wording is almost exactly the same except for the gender and the score so it has to be the same poster. How odd.

Do not go to GMU to take the NNAT. You are better off (a) planning on a parent referral, no matter what the CogAT scores are next year and (b) if you are doing testing, planning for the WISC instead of the NNAT. Good luck.
