The wait was crazy anxious!


They don't take WPPSI into account. And did they really test your kid all the way up to a 60 DRA or is that a typo. There was a thread recently where someone claimed they were not allowed to test beyond a 38.


I'm not the post above, but my second grader was tested at a DRA of 40. I think some schools reassess the kids they are referring so they have a current/middle of the year reading assessment score -- not just the one from the beginning of the year. But... that is my assumption.

Received rejection letter today (Sat)
Parent referral from private school to middle school

GBRS 14
WISC-V was 132

I was shocked!


They completely ignore GBRS from private school. I'm not sure why you were shocked.


Wow how empathetic of you.

He also had great grades, recommendations and a good file ... well I guess not good enough.
Oh well.

Good luck to the rest of those waiting!!

But what is point to apply for middle school? He can register for any courses he wants, yes? What is the advantage of AAP designation in middle school?

NP here

FSIQ 132 98th
VCI 124 95th
VSI 129 97th
FRI 128 97th
WMI 110 75th
PSI 144 99.8th

If I go for an appeal, can I have him take one of the other tests somewhere? We did the WISC-V at GMU. Do they do the other tests too?

Her Classroom teacher recommended level 60 books for her. She is an avid reader. It can be a little tricky finding level 60 books with appropriate content for her age.

I know they don’t accept WIPPSI but AART teacher recommended submitting it. Been receiving level 2 services in reading and maths since Kindergarten.

NP. I don't have a dog in this fight because I don't have a second grader this year, but depending on where you live, some kids can choose different middle schools if they are accepted to AAP. Where we live, if you're non-AAP, you go to Stone MS, whereas AAP kids go to Rocky Run.

I don't think the test scores are the issue so I wouldn't take another IQ test.. Read the other thread where child in private school had really high scores and was rejected.

We are zoned for Rachel Carson anyway. The benefit would be taking AAP level Math, science and the like, vs regular or honors. He can choose courses but only up to a certain level. We tried, for example, because he is taking Alegbra 1 in private (6th) and without the AAP, he moves backwards a bit in math.

How did everyone get the GBRS score? Did you just ask your child's teacher?
