[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]--likely the Wisc is of no use here. It seems to have been given before its of any clinical significance

--schools are like much, much harder here then there. I have a family member in the gifted program in fl. I also previously taught a year in fl and for many in fairfax. The difference is astounding.

I'm not saying your child doesn't belong in the program here. I'm saying if you have a Wisc that was likely done on a kindergartener, it won't be much help here. I'm also saying the aap program is far more advanced than the two gifted programs I know about in fl and we often discussed at school meetings issues with our county's gifted services.

Good luck [/quote]

The minimum age for the WISC is 6 years old.  It will probably still be valid in mid 2nd grade.  Also, a 136 FSIQ is well above the level of the majority of the kids in AAP.

To the OP: FCPS does a full-time classroom, but it won't start until 3rd grade.  In second, there will be in-class differentiation and possibly some pull outs.  Loudoun does a one day per week program, starting in 4th.  I'm not sure how Arlington or Alexandria handle gifted services.[/quote]
