Get around the general ed teacher, talk to your AART and principle. and you can parent refer, the GBRS is just one aspect, if your kid got high scores and good schoolwork and performance, he could still get in. My kid got in on appeal, his teacher does not like him much cause he got bored, and that did not surprise me when he got a >99.9% WISC score (1 in 10,000), he even got 2s on motivation in music and PE (i don't even know that's possible for PE...), but AART was very supportive, and even did a referral for him to Davidson Institute, principle was also supportive as well, he was willing to do principle placement before the AAP Appeal decision was out.

I’m not trying to be a jerk but for future reference, it’s “Principal”

What on earth are you talking about? He’s only in third grade! It didn’t work out in second, so he hasn’t been trying for years and years or anything.

If he is actually curled in a corner, depressed, he probably needs professional help. And it likely has nothing to do with AAP.

This. I believe you that the AAP situation has been triggering for your kid, but there are definitely underlying issues there. Focus on that.
