[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. thanks so much for the thoughtful responses!  My son doesn't say he's broed in class or say anything in class negatively. He's a Young Scholar (as of 1st grade) and at 1Q teacher conference, it was clear that she didnt know him or that he should have been getting more advanced materials. When asked what he could improve on, she said - nothing. he's helpful to others, pleasant, and always does his best in class.  no mention of anything to work on... aside from him being very quiet in class[/quote]

He was admitted into Young Scholars using an IQ and ability test, yes? Can you submit those with an appeal? Young Scholars should be past 99.9% IQ correct? >145 on a WISC? Hard to fake that. IQ test should have taken hours.

I have an adult kid who was 2E & a Young Scholar in FCPS. They did AAP & later TJHSST before university. Honestly, kid getting into AAP was much more aggravating than TJ admission. I felt like AAP was always used as a gate keeping system and certain teachers & friends who were cozy with the principal got admitted easily.

helpful to hear your experience. I'm working on an appeal now and will submit all these materials and do new work samples to help fill any gaps in HOPE

All - thank you for the advice, anecdotes, and experiences!  
My child was accepted on appeal.  We did take the wisc - it confirmed that his aptitude is very high AND that relatively, his processing speed is much lower.  Makes sense for my Level 1 Autism kid.  His abilities are amazing but he has a harder time translating them fully onto paper and especially in tight timeframes.  With that in mind, I transcribed his thinking on new work samples and wow - what a difference!  I explained this on his appeal and ultimately, them deemed him eligible.  Now to advocate for 504 updates to reflect this. [/quote]
