When is the appeals deadline? Call GMU to see what can be done. Also, put together some good work samples and maybe revise your parent form examples of things your dc has said/done that are consistent with needing full-time AAP services.

How were the i-Ready scores? The CogAT score is impressive. Are you in a very competitive pyramid? [/quote]

Thank you for the advice. Ok - I'll give GMU a call and see what they can do.

Thanks for pointing out the iReady - I had largely ignored it because we didn't get a report on that from the school. The scores in the AAP submission differ from those in his ParentVue account: 66 "Reading Lexile Level" (this doesn't make any sense - maybe it means the percentile?) and 98 for Math Quintile Level (again - aren't there just 5 quintiles?). The raw scores in ParentVue seem in the "on grade level" for math and a grade behind (?!) in reading according to what I can find online about ranges. Standardized tests from the prior school and school year consistently show high 80s percentile for language/reading and high 90s for math.

As to the pyramid -  I had to look this up - and it looks like we're in a more competitive pyramid.[/quote]

Anecdotally I have heard teachers complaining about the reading level of AAP kids lately, saying they have been frustrated by how many can't keep up with the work in level IV (extensions at our school used to be Caesar's English in 4th plus expecting more work and less scaffolding on comprehension projects, but it's all changed with Benchmark). If your kid's committee was full of those teachers, that grade level behind in English will be a killer. You need to counterbalance that.[/quote]
