[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like your HOPE form wasn't that bad.  I think it would be harder to overcome if the ratings were terrible.  Yes, it's helpful if more checkboxes were checked but I don't think it's a dealbreaker. That's just my impression - I'm no expert.  You can give good work samples for writing that show that your child is advanced in writing.

My understanding is that the ratings are primarily driven by the teacher.  The AART may help with the comments. I'm not sure who decides the advanced checkboxes.  [/quote]

Thank you. I was feeling this was the kiss of death (the lack of checkboxes). DC's CogAT score is very good but not out of this world. I thought I submitted good work samples but knowing what I know now I might have opted for other ones.

The ratings were decent but not as awesome as they could have been.

The AART referred to the 'committee', which made it sound like a very joint decision but that could be a cover. My child says they rarely see the AART so I'm skeptical they could have had much input. Teacher seems overworked and possibly not eliciting kids' best work.[/quote]
