[quote=Anonymous]NNAT 130
Cogat 128
GBRS score of 16 with excellent write up from current teacher.
Child has solid report cards for the past year and a half with top marks in all subjects.
Tested Cogat/NNAT at GW.
Private catholic school child being taught way behind public, I think, so have been supplementing myself at home.  Example of what is being taught at current school: 2nd grade student just started on subtraction two weeks ago - drilling 5 minus 1; 7 minus 1; 4 minus zero.  Spent the beginnig of the year until now on single digit adding (drilling.)
We have excellent recommendation letters from teachers and current school principal.
Child is utterly bored, thinks schoolwork and homework is a joke. It takes our child less than two minutes to complete homework each evening.
Thinking of private testing if I have to appeal.
Love the current school, families, family values, teachers, child's peers, despise the academics.
Was told by GW tester that child is very advanced on things that cannot be taught.  On subjects child can be taught, child is testing high average.  Was recommended that I pull child from the school or do a lot of private supplementing in math and other subjects.  Was told we are doing our child a disservice by keeping child in current catholic school, and especially by not supplementing privately because the score would have been much higher had we done so.

We have no idea if our child will be accepted into the AA Program.  Any insight/opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry for the very long paragraph :-)
