Fairfax County GT/AAP Appeals.

Fcps cannot defend one kid admitted when another with similar stats was denied.

They should just post a min IQ score, like most school districts do. Still accept those based on GBRS, if the scores are low. Since it is not a GT. Parents can decide if they still want to submit if all scores are below cut off. It seems a lot of time is wasted wondering and stressing what IQ score is acceptable.

Took WIsc FSI of 126, GBRS of 12 and report is 4s.

Appealing, first time ever. What are the chances?

What are the WISC subscores?

I agree. 140 would be reasonable.

This is insanity. Thanks, FCPS!

The subscores are
Verbal Comprehension 126 96 Superior
Perceptual Reasoning 121 92 Superior
Working Memory 91 27 Average
Processing Speed 138 99 Very Superior
Full Scale I.Q. 126 96 Superior

Thank You.

It is recommended to do another test. The score most likely will not increase much.

That is embarrassing!

Almost certainly. DD was in an AAP class of 34 last year. Also AAP is considered to be a form of special Ed. You're entitled if you qualify.

While you're at it, start saving $$ to sue every college who turns your kid down.

I would submit these scores. Has your child been evaluated for ADHD by any chance?

[Anonymous]

Thanks for your feedback. But, so far she has never been asked to be evaluated for ADHD. Personally, I feel its her nature to answer very slow.

I am no expert; just a parent of three kids with ADHD, all having wide disparities in PSI compared to the other scores, and two with wide disparities in Working Memory as well.
