How do these kids not get in? |

| I don't get it either. Some profiles on here are In and others with far better scores are not in. **Mind f blown*** |

| We are sitting here discussing how it’s possible that everyone with lower scores got in, but DD did not. What do we have to do?! |

Appeal. Could it be a poor HOPE? |

The HOPE is one of the most important parts. It’s where teachers get to say their peace and it is very valued. You should get the HOPE score. Likely the subjects weren’t checked and the teacher did not indicate that your child needs extra opportunities for enrichment. For most high scoring kids who don’t get in I think it comes down to the HOPE. Also if the teacher samples of work are not really showing unique skills that hurts the packet. When my son got in he didn’t have great scores but his teacher checked every box as needing extra extensions because he was advanced in every subject. |

Thank you for this— He’s our first so this process was new for us. Definitely disappointed because we thought the program would be a great fit for him. His teacher constantly tells us that he is not challenged enough by the material, which our son echos. We also thought it would be a great fit socially and were looking forward to him being with kids with similar interests. But alas, onward and upward! |

100% the difference comes down to hope scores. That and pyramid.
I have heard the hope score is very highly weighted. That is part of what makes this so frustrating. We are at a center school in Langley pyramid and it is well known that if you want your kid in AAP you try to request a specific 2nd grade teacher because she will go to bat and put together an excellent packet for your kid. |

I would appeal in this situation. I appealed successful for my child 2 yrs ago and am glad I didn’t give up after the initial rejection. DC is thriving. |

Example of why you should always request the HOPE; there must be be something in there that contradicts the stellar stats. |

Current Grade: 2 NNAT: 137 CoGAT: 127 In Pool (Yes/No): Yes iReady Math Percentile: 463 iReady Reading Percentile: 490 HOPE (good/bad/etc, # of exceptional subjects): just requested portfolio Pyramid: Robinson In/not in: Not in Have a first year teacher who I truly think has no idea how to identify his needs. When I asked during parent teacher conference about the application she seemed surprised I was asking and didn’t think he was a good fit. I have a daughter thriving in full time AAP and my son catches on to things much quicker than she does and just gets the bigger picture |
