Our older child was accepted four years ago with similar test scores. Thinking about appealing. Is WISC definitely required in order to appeal?

No, but it makes it very easy if the WISC score is high. Unfortunately it is probably the most costly way to appeal.

the one and only 16 so far

That was my DD. I will say, her teacher put A LOT of effort into that GBRS report. She included very specific examples of behaviors/acts in the classroom and out (like at recess). I knew about some of these things, but not about others. It was an interesting read, and more information about my child than I've gotten (albeit indirectly) from any of my kids' teachers so far. I would recommend to anyone who had a packet prepared to request a copy.

My DD got a 16 last year, too. It contained about 4 pages of singled spaced typed commentary. I was shocked at the details provided. It covered nearly all aspects of her day, things she says, quotes she'd said, how she handled situations, questions she asked, answers she provided, etc. EXTREMELY detailed.

Can you tell us what school your child attends. I'm pretty sure the teachers at our school don't put in nearly that effort. Great teacher whoever she/he is!

Seriously, I want to know, too. My DC's teacher gave one sentence each for his resport. I feel she doesn't care or know so much about my kid.

No, I won't say what school, but she was a very average teacher. Interesting that you would think she is a "great" teacher because of how she filled this report out. Yes, the report was well written and while in no way was I thinking my child would get a 16, if the teacher was hearing and seeing the things she wrote about, it did make sense and she had the complete back up to support her score. That said, she wasn't a "great" teacher; she was just okay.

Don't mean to take anything away from child. Just meant to say that some teachers would not care enough to get to know a child that well or spend the time to write such detailed observations, so kudos to the teachers that do.

It seems like all those with great test scores don't know GBR. Would those of you in that situation repost when you find out the GBR so we can tell if that was truly the deciding factor?

Meant to say great test scores that were not found eligible.

19:34 poster here. Since our older DC was accepted with similar test scores (also pooled) and without parent feedback, I'm thinking our younger DC's GBRS was the variable that resulted in a different outcome. Will be sure to share when we find out

DD, youngest in her class due to a late September birthday.

Naglieri: 122 (91%)

CogAt: Verbal 132, Quant 118, Nonverbal 108, Composite 122 (92% for her age)

GBRS: 16 with VERY thorough commentary. Her teacher really filled up every free space with 4 comments per section. Very concrete examples.

Parent referred on advice of school.

Admitted

Side note, brother from same ES not admitted last year with 126 Naglieri, CogAt 114, 103, 107, 112 Composite and also a 16 GBRS. Has autism and ADHD. Doing great at base school with smaller class size due to Title I Status, but keep hearing of friends leaving for AAP, and no LLIV option for our school. Did not appeal for him, but do worry his peer group is dwindling. Really wish LLIV was at ALL schools. Then I could keep my kids together, and all children could get the challenge they need. This year, he does get a weekly pullout for Level III, and report card says advanced math, but I'm not sure what it entails.

Congrats but I am surprised.

Are you sure GBRS of 6? I am a teacher and have never given a GBRS that low.

You have to submit all new info, so yes.

I think a teacher who can keep detailed notes for all 28+ children in her second grade class in order to fill out each individual GBRS with specific and personal examples has to be pretty great.

You do know the teachers have a classroom full of children - not just your child - right?

I would urge you to look at it again for your DS. My DS is in AAP and has autistic kids in his class. It seems to be a great symbiotic relationship for all the kids in the class.

You know, were it not for the 16 GBRS, I'd not even consider it. But now, I think missing 2 years, then catching up would possibly be too stressful for him. Since we did not apply this year.
