How much are iReady scores used to determine AAP acceptance?
NNAT: 135 COGAT: 120 No idea about the GRBS Not in for Stratford Landing. Sort of surprised but daughters iReady scores aren’t very good. Tests and work samples are all great. She was in pool. Not parent referral. |
Current grade: 2nd
NNAT/CoGAT: CoGat 135 GBRS (if known): School or center: Colvin Run In/not in: not in Not going to lie. Surprised and disappointed. Feeling a little lost. Part of me wants to appeal and part of me is just trying to figure out if I just need to live on my kid and be okay with the decision. |
I’m sorry. Those are great scores. There is nothing lost by appealing the decision. |
I had one kid AAP - who barely made it - and another kid who was not. I felt terrible for the gen ed kid thinking that I'd somehow failed her, as I didn't know there was an application process or much about AAP when she went through. I was very upset about it, but she seemed to enjoy her ES life and we had no complaints. Fast forward to MS, she's in all honors courses, honors orchestra and everything else that you could ask. Honestly, I do not think that she missed much by not being in AAP. She is far more studious than my DC in AAP and consistently has better scores. I only say this having been through both and realizing years later that both kids are excelling. For what it's worth. |
Current grade: 2nd

Those scores are on the low side. Sorry to say. Lots of kids used to get in without being in pool. I don’t know how it is now. |

Pp here - yes definitely but this thread highlights scores that are equal or lower and they are in. See previous poster. |
Cogat 140, in pool
GBRS unknown McLean pyramid Not in Rather surprised because kid was in pool and he is really creative. Pretty sure the teacher screwed us. |
The scores don’t matter as much as the GBRS. High scores with low GBRS will not get your child in. |
Current grade: 2nd
NNAT/CoGAT: 160/143- in pool GBRS (if known): don’t know School or center: Langley pyramid In |
What is GBRS? |
NP. It's the Gifted Behavior Rating Scale. Teachers complete it for students who are either in pool or referred. It's a huge crock, completely subjective and in no way predictive of whether a kid will do well in AAP. I don't have a dog in this fight anymore because my oldest is about to be done with the program and entering high school in the fall but I can't believe FCPS gets away with using this as a screening tool. |
Would an new IEP for ADHD be something worth pursuing an appeal over? My kiddo had a cogat of 135 and not in, but the ADHD diagnosis and IEP is new. |
