[quote=Anonymous]I would not include the WISC. It won't do anything to help your case. Has your child won any significant awards, like in math olympiad, science olympiad, spelling bee, etc.? Do you have some good work samples? Were his iready scores high? I would appeal with any awards, letters of recommendation, and work samples. If his iready scores were above grade level, I'd also include those. Then, write a parent letter and focus specifically on how your child's needs are not being met in his gen ed classroom, and how they would be better met in an AAP classroom. Don't talk about him being bored or being ready for more challenge. Instead, perhaps talk about subjects in which he'd love to delve deeper, but can't in gen ed. Or talk about how your child needs the hands-on and more interactive teaching style in AAP. Or talk about how your child needs access to the academic extracurriculars available at the center but not at your base school. [/quote]
