[quote=Anonymous]15:22 here.  I am a teacher  :), though have not taught public school for 7 years, and taught music.  I have done a lot of unofficial "research" just among various teacher friends, mom's groups, just out of curiousity.  My ds with test scores ranging from 125-148 did not get in last year with a GBRS of 9.  I appealed without WISC due to financial reasons, and was denied.  This year, I parent referred on the rec of ds's teacher, but still no WISC.  I asked today, and our AAP teacher told me his GBRS was 11 this year.  I am not gung ho he needs to be there, really.  My biggest issue is that he is a total coaster, and does not seem challenged at all.  Our thought is, if the bar is set higher, he will meet that criteria.  That said, not sure I would appeal this year, since WISC is still not a financial option for us right now.  I think he would do really well, as does his current teacher.  What frustrated me more, was that with that 9 GBRS and high test scores, he was not even found eligible for Level III.  That said, our school AAP teacher is only there 2 days, and we have a school with "high"  general test scores, so I would venture a guess there is not a whole lot going on if she is spread to all grades.[/quote]
