[quote=Anonymous]My daughter did not have great iReady scores - 71 Percentile math and 64 Verbal
Cogat 130 (Verbal) Quant (138) Nonverbal SAS (118) Composite (135)
NAI 107
Work samples submitted by the school not great - not because her input was bad but the sheets were so basic that you would have to go in thinking "I need to say something outlandish to turn in a good AAP work sample'" to make these reflect a gifted kid. 
 
The schoolwork is mindboggling slow. She aces every single assignment, test, Level 3 math.
She can be challenged.

GBRS are not great. No COs. Yet she does really well on everything. What do these teachers look for? You can't be bright and up for a challenge?

This is a kid who came home on a Friday night, spent 3 hours writing scripts for her classmates  group project, editing and rewriting to get a perfect flow for their project (presented as a play).

I'm wondering if the test scores are killing this. She told me on Cogat day, the teacher ran out of tests (last year before online), left the classroom. Kids were talking up a storm. She's like me. I get very distracted in noisy test environments.
I'm not saying she'd nail the tests otherwise. But in looking at the packet - I wouldn't put her in Level IV either. This is a center school. Applied in 3rd grade.
