[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for that honest reply. 
I know there is a tendency to think as a mom am biased in thinking my DD is gifted. She isn't as much as my older two were, BUT then I am also harsh and criquing. (blame the asian genes) but others have told me repeatedly that she is doing so much better at school and outside. PLUS, my biggest peeve is that there is no challenge at the current school. Despite us asking for it. 
Am not the only one hwo feels that way.

so yeah. I don't want to continue here and know not what to do.

If your daughter is doing much better at school and outside school, I would hope that placement in 4th grade will be with a strong teacher (and yes, there are strong teachers in FCPS, including in general ed) that will "get" her.  In the fall you can ask for a retest (and I would go with the CogAT if you can) if she is eligible, and then do a parent referral next spring.  The 4th grade teacher will contribute towards the GBRS with Commentary, she will have new CogAT scores, and you can make a strong case as a parent about her growth and maturity. If she shows such potential in the classroom, she may be found eligible and she could start at the AAP Center for 5th grade.[/quote]
