[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just met with the principal to get the results of my child's test, and it was a complete waste of time. Th meeting was 5 mins long and she just said essentially "she didn't pass the test. It's a secure test, and we can't tell you more. You are welcome to appeal." So, I don't think there is any point of meeting with a principal for those of you who are wondering how your child did. I got the sense that there is no point in appealing--the school controls the test and has discretion in the scoring of the results. [/quote]

We met with the assistant principal, as well as the two teachers that had done the testing and evaluation, and it was actually a rather useful conversation. While they couldn't say what my child's precise scores were, they did say which sections passed, and which did not, which we had asked so that we would know whether an appeal would be worthwhile.

On speaking casually with the principal, I was told that the individual school is required to follow the guidelines provided, and that all sections must be passed in order to be EEK. But, the principal was very encouraging about appealing. The asst principal was as well, to an extent.

After both conversations, we did decide to appeal, and my child was admitted.[/quote]
