Level III AAP in all four core subjects - why not Level IV!?

| My child was recommended for level III AAP in all four core subjects for third grade by the school (we never asked for it). What does this mean? Shouldn’t this be Level IV? Child was in pool automatically for Level IV, but didn’t get in. Appeal was unsuccessful. (NNAT 136, Cogat 118, WiISC 138, 2C and 2F from teacher). I am so cofused by this process. |

A WISC 138 got rejected?!
The school selects students for LIII. The central committee selects for LIV. The school thinks your child belongs in LIV but doesn't have the authority to make this happen. If your school has local services, it just means that your child is likely to be placed full time in the AAP classroom. |

Yes :/ With FRI 147. Thanks! |

In my school, Level III is a once-a-week one-hour pull out. The report card says it has covered the four core areas, one in each quarter. Honestly, do not expect much from Level III, at least in those schools with this once-a-week pull out format.
I am sorry to hear WISC 138 was denied, the selection process is not transparent. |

| Does FCPS give the file reviewers some kind of "red flags" to look for? Because these high WISC denials don't make sense at all-especially in light of some of the appeals that are "In" with really low scores. |

| We had NNAT 129, COGAT 135. GBRS 2F and 2O. Reached out to the school and they tell us that we won't be getting any level 3 services either. I am so bummed that the school has so much power to determine your GBRS and that will affect not only your Level 4 but also Level 3 services. We had WISC 131 and not sure that can help get some level 3 services? We kind of feel discriminated being a minority. |

I am sorry to hear that. I would submit the WISC to AART as an support for Level III. Your child needs at least Level III services.. |

Wouldn't the LLIV principal be able to place this child into the AAP classroom, assuming this is LLIV? |

I'm sorry, I would be furious about that. |

| honestly? I would formally write the school to request a complete special education evaluation. They owe you that! |

| Thank you all. I am done dealing with the AART and will write to the principal next with the WISC. I wish I had sent them the WISC sooner and followed up on Level 3 as a backup. |

Should they consider level 3 with Cogat 135 already without WISC ? I think due to GBRS bring low they are not interested. |

| According to our AART, the determining factors seem to be report cards, GBRS, work samples and test scores. In our case, the report cards mostly have 4s, the work samples look good to me and test scores are almost border line for Level 4. The only thing that doesn't support our case is GBRS score, even though teacher has written 2 full pages of praises in comments. Really don't understand why the school would not at least provide some level 3 services. |

Also didn't realize till now that we did not get math pullouts in second grade, though have all 4s in all quarters. Maybe this had something to do with 1st grade teacher? Wish had known this earlier and probably would have helped our case as on GBRS form, it says no math pullouts. Praying we get a level headed teacher in 3rd grade or will get on the school board's nerves and maybe they won't hoard us next year. |
