[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We appealed last year in 2nd grade and got in. We did WISC V, she scored 125. Submitted some new work samples provided by her AART teacher. In the letter, I wrote about discrepancy between the report cards, test results and the HOPE score. In a kind way I explained why the HOPE score did not make any sense. I also mentioned that she was in pre-AAP in 1st and 2nd grade for both math and language arts and I wrote why I think it would be beneficial for her to stay with the same group of kids. I mentioned the books she read and some anecdotes from the school. Looking back, I don’t think the WISC V was necessary. If the same happens to my younger next year, I will not do the testing.

This is so helpful, thank you. We just appealed for our second grader and our cover letter was largely based on the discrepancy between her report cards/test scores/work samples (all high/good quality) and her HOPE score (which indicated that she is advanced in every AAP subject, but only gave her "Often" and a few "Almost Always" scores). We didn't do any outside testing, but her teacher sent home some work samples we felt were better than the beginning of the year ones that were submitted with her original portfolio, so we submitted those too. We'll see how it goes.[/quote]
