[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DP.  A kid who is a solid student with a high GBRS and a 120-ish IQ would be very average within AAP, and the kid would fit perfectly into the program.  No, the DD doesn’t “need AAP,” but she’s no different than the majority of bright kids who get in.  [/quote]

I think it’s a reasonable question to ask to focus OPs appeal. Make the case for why your DD “needs aap.” It’s not the WISC. [/quote]

NP. This is not going to be a popular answer, but if you are at a Title I or close to Title I base school, you need to make the case that your above-average kid is not being served in the Gen Ed classroom. Pull stats on the base school and if there are a significant number of kids who are not meeting benchmarks, you need to hit hard in the appeal that your child is not getting their needs met. If there's no advanced math offered at the base until 5th grade, and Level III pullouts are only an hour a week, point that out, too.  I know two families who did this when appealing for their kids who scored in the 120s and it worked. [/quote]
