Seems like the county gives the highest score to GBRS. Spoke to the teacher and asked what is the line between a FO and CO so that we get it right next time, teacher says DC is a bright kid in class and [b]does not recollect why she gave 4 FO, is she being coy? [/b] The kid is heartbroken and I feel helpless. It's an early lesson to her that life is not fair.

Feel helpless because retaking COGAT may not even help, there is no clear direction on how GBRS is accessed, and seems very subjective as per the AART.

Kids creds

NNAT- 132  (98 percentile)
COGAT- 132 (139 in math, did badly in verbal) 98th percentile overall
WISC - 140 (99.5 percentile)- GMU counselor said very nice things about DC in an 1:1 assessment
GBRS- 4 FO

Not in on Appeals

Or maybe OP cornered the teacher at dismissal for an impromptu conference and the teacher couldn’t recall her exact thinking from some meeting in January about one of the 25 kids she teaches.

Teachers should document their records since the GBRS is so highly weighted; not recalling isn't good enough when it is important to the kid and his family.[/quote][/quote]
