130?

In my kid's case I think it did help. This was a couple of years ago. Cogat was 140 but his gbrs was so so. His WISC was 139 (taken at GMU). His cogat verbal was in the high 120s but it turned out that his verbal intelligence on Wisc was at 99.99% so we used the number to counter the low Cogat verbal score. We also submitted a very convincing letter that explains why he needs AAP with specific examples. New work samples that support the story were submitted as well. I would say if you can provide a new data point with the Wisc score, then, yes it does help. If not, focus on the letter and work samples to tell a coherent story.

What was his verbal i-ready score? That isn't "prepable" while other tests are.

Race is not on the documents

Yes it is. Have you seen the AAP package? I requested my child’s packet through FOIA and race was listed on the screening summary sheet. Young Scholars and ESOL status were also included. Also included in addition to ESOL status was “ Is the student a Language Minority student? (Answer "yes" if there is a language other than or in addition to English spoken in the home and mentioned anywhere on the (HLS) Home Language Survey) If yes, specify language:

You don't have to request it through FOIA, you can just ask your AART for it. Race was not on my child's packet. Just because your child doesn't speak English doesn't necessarily mean they are a minority. My neighbor moved here from Germany and their kids speak just the tiniest bit of English.

So race only shows up when you request it via FOIA, but not otherwise? How interesting. I can't possibly imagine how or why that would be the case.

Yes, our son was not recommended by his teacher six years ago and took WISC. Was accepted into AAP. Since then has had 600 on every math SOL and is going to TJ in the fall. Just be honest with yourself. If your kid has the ability to be challenged, go for it. If not, let it go. We have another kid in the latter category.
