[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son got everything occasionally observed on GBRS even he has high GOGAT score and iready score

We are in Vienna, and really hoping my son can get into AAP since the teacher kept telling me he is above second grade level.

The teacher rated him N for strength in reading even his reading iready score is 552 which is 94 percentile!!!!!!!!!!

I would admit my son is not the best listener and can be a trouble maker, does anything think he may still have a chance if I appeal?

Many Thanks[/quote]

Probably not with 4O's, but you didn't share the COGAT score.  If in the 130's or less, I think it will be too much to overcome the low GBRS.  The Y/N is typically based on whether or not your child is receiving advanced instruction in Reading or Math (at least that's how our AART completed it, for better or worse).  For example, having reading or math pull-outs (level II/III services).  Iready doesn't seem to be weighted very heavily from what I've seen...and most AAP students will have at least one of them a 99%.

On the flip side, it can't hurt to appeal, but I'd provide some stellar work samples and examples tailored to the GBRS items in the write-up to overcome the fact that the teachers aren't seeing any of the items noted during the class time.  [/quote]

OP, For perspective, my child had 134 COGAT, is a troublemaker, got 1CO,3FO, and I thought was a borderline case of barely making it in the program.  This is a mid-high SES school.  I add this only for reference to the bar by the central Committee.  There are examples of anomalies on both sides of this, getting in with score of 120 and low GBRS, to getting rejected with scores in the 140's and 4CO.  The inconsistency is astounding.[/quote]
