I'm not 07:31, but don't ask if you don't want see answers not going your way. NNAT cut of is 132, CogAT is 95%, and WISC need about solid 130.

I'm not judging anybody. It's all about numbers and data.
Recommendation from soccer coach and KUMON instructor? LOL.

This child sounds bright, but not advanced. I don't think he/she would be found eligible, nor do I think it would be a good fit. A WISC IV of 115 is technically classified as "high average."

+1
The scores across the board sound about 70 percentile of all FCPS kids. Maybe eligible for level II or level III? It's worth a try.

What if I insist she be in AAP? I don't want a second rate education for her. Gen Ed sucks or so I have heard.....

AAP level IV? There is hope, but going to be tough.
AAP level IV like education? Go private.
Otherwise try again next year, and appeal, and again the year after, and appeal, and again the year after, and appeal, until she get in, or she is in 8th grade.
Seriously, which school she is in? If she is in the top ES in FCPS, the ge Ed quality sometimes is as good as the AAP. If not, consider move to one of the top ES neighborhood.
