[quote=Anonymous]Hi, am so glad I fell upon this forum and it is current.

DD is my 3rd child in 3rd grade and my older 2 (son and daughter) made GT(AAP) and are now in 12/11 (son is in TJHSST, daughter in chantilly high)

I did a parent referral for her this year. The asst principal did all in her power for her to not take the cogat 3. I was miseld to believe that she could take it in Jan and then didnt allow her to take it, and instead offered cogat 4. I denied. 
Instead did the WISC privately. 
Here is her case. (she got denied and am debating on appealing or just selling and moving homes, coz i am so dejected iwth the school and the complete apathy of the admin to not help the few kids who do well!)

I will be teh first one to admit that she was playful and not serious in 2nd grade (as her scores reflect) but she has turned around over the summer and is very mature for her age.

Cogat 2nd grade - Verbal -124, Quant -116, Nonverbal -115 
WISC - 
Full scale index - 130 
VCI = 130
Working memory = 126 
Perceptual Reasoning = 119 
Processing speed = 118

GBRS = 9 
Exceptional ability to learn = 3 
Exceptional ap[pl of knowledge = 1 (which is really BS) 
Exceptional creative thinking = 2 (again BS coz the girl is gifted when it comes to music and dance and amply demosntrated by certificates and awards from when she was 4 yrs old) 
Exceptional Motivation = 3

She is most certainly under ranked, when u actually see what teh class teacher had written in the commentary. It's teh GT teacher (who EVERYONE hates) and the Asst principal who gave me tremendous grief during the school year regd pullouts etc.

Certificates, awards and recommendation letters are excellent. 
Class teacher agrees she does not belong to this class.

What do I do? Please advise.
