[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here-
Any insights would be welcome.
They do seem inconsistent to me.
Is the GBRS helpful at all or just not useful?
DC is not challenged and bored all day.

[b]Is she working at advanced levels for math and language arts? [/b] Does she have any pulls outs by the AART?  What is her DRA score?  What were the comments to the GBRS?  (FYI:  They can only state positive comments but were they overflowing or just a moderate amount?)  What were the work samples?  Why do you think she needs the program other than being bored and not challenged?[/quote]

The school says she is not advanced at math or language arts (see the bottom of the original post). I don't understand who would think this child needs to be in an special advanced program.[/quote]

I was the one asked if she was working at advanced levels.  If she isn't how can she be bored.  FWIW, my AAP kid never once reported being bored in school prior to going into AAP.  My younger child has also never reported being bored at school and does receive advanced instruction (though I'm sure sits through things he already knows).  Being bored isn't the standard, in any event.  There's nothing you've said that would indicate that your child will get in. Of course, she can blow the WISC out of the water and then that would change everything.  But she's not getting advanced instructions, a mediocre GBRS, above average but out of pool test scores and since you said nothing about work samples, the GBRS commentary, or other support, I'm guessing nothing stuck out to you other than you believe she should be in.  There are plenty of people who posted scores on another post and they were much higher (both GBRS and testing) and their kids didn't get in, which surprised many.  Nothing surprising about what you've said so far...[/quote]
