GT/AAP Appeals WISC Scores

[Anonymous]

I have scheduled an appointment to test him with a private Dr. next week and she assured me it is enough time to get the results and write a report. But we still not sure if we should shell the $$$ to appeal. He is a very bright kid but our school is known for holding back bring kids to keep the school scores up, this is a story from many parents in the school. His teacher is new to the school system and she did her best to advocate for him. I found out the school did not include one page from his report card in the file where his teacher wrote a very high and well report about my son and his critical thinking abilities especially in math and science which he is very strong at . I am just wondering with his scores we have a chance to appeal or not..... I have emails from his teacher telling me examples of his leadership and gifted behavior one some days while at school, should I include that? again, thanks for all the input..

Unfortunately - cogat of 129 and GBRS 10 is not seen as a great score If you think yr child's needs are not met by G.Ed, please invest the $ and get the WISC and appeal. My son's teacher hasnt helped much either. When I asked for the screening file, I got only the GBRS sheet back...so really not sure what was sent for my son. Its all so convoluted and very cloogy. But - hey - We are not giving up yet GL

The GBRS sheet is not right. The commentary section is very good and they even used the words " frequently" and " consistently" to describe my child's application of knowledge and other aspects, but still when they assigned a score they put it as a 2?! We will go with the WISC and see what will happen. Any advice on how to write the appeal letter?

With WISC 148 and GBRS=8 gor denied. Planning to appeal, what should I include? Any suggestions is greatly appreciated.

If u look at this same thread may be over a year back, kids with wisc scores >130 and gbrs of 6 have got into the program on appeal. So "I" was of the opinion that wisc superceded gbrs. I guess I was wrong!

The GBRS =8, the report card has good grades. All the comments are good but all are 2/4 for GBRS. What can I submit for appeal? Thank you.

High GBRS (like 15 or 16) and WISC in 120s? Will DC get in?
