[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our teacher spent 25 minutes telling us how our daughter is very bright but she’s not gifted. She gave examples that I don’t think were a proper interpretation of gifted vs just a bright child. It was pretty upsetting. We clearly have a different impression vs the classroom teacher and yes maybe biased but we definitely know our DD better than the teacher. Nnat 99% cogat I believe was 134. Iready reading 99% iready math 89%. In pool but did not get it but I did appeal.

I thought part of AAP was the potential for high achievement. I’m disappointed in the teachers impression. Are all kids truly geniuses?[/quote]

That said, AAP is for kids who are advanced and not just geniuses. [b]The 89th percentile in math is probably why your kid is not in AAP[/b], she will be served just fine in gen ed math and might be placed in Advanced Math.

This!

Math is likely the single biggest distinguishing factor between GenEd and AAP (and its not that big of difference).  Its not to say your child wouldn't be able to keep up, but most children in AAP get 99% in Math, so that's the outlier here.

I'd still appeal, and submit some samples showing her capabilities outside the classroom.  If her Quantative score in COGAT is respectable (130+), you might want to lean into that in your letter as well.
