[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have twins and one made it into AAP and one did not. My kids attend a center school, so they'll be at the same school but not the same classroom anymore. Both my kids are very upset with this. 
I do not think my kid has a good chance at getting in with an appeal. My kid is a very well rounded student but doesn't have that puzzle-y type of brain. Below are my kid's stats.

For parents that have one child in gen ed and one in AAP, did you notice a huge difference in curriculum? Is gen ed really that bad?

NNAT - 108, COGAT - 134, WISC - 117. 
GBRS - 2CO, 2FO. 
All 4s on report card and ireadys are consistently in the 90+ percentile. [/quote]

OP:  The information you cited sounds like you have a well adjusted, above average kid. It's a shame that he/she is upset.  Out of curiosity --genetically speaking-- are they identical twins?  And what were the scores and GBRS of the kid accepted to AAP?

OP here. Identical twins. My other twin had the following stats:

NNAT - 121, COGAT - 136, WISC - 132
GBRS - 2CO, 2FO
Same grades on report card and ireadys in the 90+ percentile. My kid that didn't get in actually scores higher in the ireadys.

Thanks for the input![/quote]

OP, how is your base school. What prompted you to get WISC scores?

I would

1) appeal for second twin to be in LIV; maybe retake the NNAT because clearly it was used.  As I see it, these kids are both borderline for LIV. One just tests a little better.  If one gets in, the other should too.  They are essentially performing the same in school, with the non accepted twin achieving better on iReady.  I assume you didn't use the WISC score for the second kid's packet.

2) If the appeal fails: remember the LIV qualified kid can always move to the center's LIV.  Then appeal again next year if you feel the center is preferable. Socially, they are better off in different classrooms so there is a silver lining to that.[/quote]
