I doubt that's true anymore.  In the past, a high WISC almost guaranteed admission on appeals.  Now, they largely discount it, and you have to come up with some other compelling reason why your child needs AAP.

OP, what you need to prove to the appeals committee is that your child's needs cannot be met in the general education classroom.  Since your child is a 3rd grader, you should be able to supply some specific examples of how your child's needs have not been met in the current school year.  If you can convince the committee in a parent letter and new work samples that your child is demonstrating many of the GBRS traits in the GBRS form, your child has not had her needs met in her 3rd grade general education classroom this year, and your child would thrive in an AAP classroom, your appeal might work, especially if your child has a high GBRS and is advanced in all subjects.

The only time I think a WISC is useful is if the kid had the high GBRS, but had something problematic in the test scores.  Like, if the kid completely bombed a CogAT section or generally had low scores, the WISC could counteract that.  If the child already had high CogAT scores, a high WISC is not telling the committee anything new.  [/quote]
