[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My understanding is that local level IV classes are filled with students who either A) were center-eligible but chose not to go, or B) selected somehow by the school.  Can anyone elaborate more on that selection process?  And given my "no" letter, would it be helpful for me to get the WISC and appeal to get her into center AAP just to decline it later?

Our specific situation:
2nd grader at a McLean-area ES with Local Level IV
"No" letter from FCPS tpday
COGATs in the 90th percentile or so for Math and Verbal but 75% on Non-Verbal
(sorry don't have exact scores)
Don't have GBRS yet either.

She has a very good memory and the level of repetition / review in the classroom is already turning her off to school.  Also her reading level this year went from about average to way above so I think the Verbal is way behind at this point.  Thus my goal is to get her into local level IV (but NOT the center, we like our local school), or at least level III.  Thanks and hopefully this info will be useful to others too.[/quote]

Local level iv are center eligible kids who elected not to go.  They are not you "b" above, "somehow selected by the school."  AAP classes are based on being offered a spot.  The WISC could help for AAP placement and if your child got a spot you could elect to stay at the local level.  I have to say the cogat is low.  You didn't mention the NNAT so perhaps that was high?[/quote]

Not true.  Our DC has been in his AAP program with both center eligible students and non at local IV school.  [/quote]

Your son has full time kids in his AAP class who were not accepted I to AAP?[/quote]

Correct.  As the next poster states, this is to fill the seats.  With that said, we could not be happier for having decided to stay at the local IV school.[/quote]
