[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry to hijack but - we are new to this process. Do a lot of people ask to see the GBRS? Have teachers at all schools completed them? [/quote]

There is another thread on this board very recently about this - I think it is entitled are you requesting to see the packet or something like that. [/quote]

This.  Just email the AART and ask if you can have a copy of the referral packet. Lots of parents do, and it is good information to have on file. Both of my kids were tested for ADHD in late ES, and the GBRS form was part of the info we sent to the psychologist when they did educational testing, along with report cards, CogAT, NNAT, SOL scores, etc.  It's part of your kid's academic record and useful information for you to review. The school has no problem giving it to you. Unless you are OP and get all upset about what you find and push back at the teacher. But if you can review it and accept it as done a deal, even if you think it is unfair, then you should get it and file it away. [/quote]

I am the OP of the other thread that asked if others were asking to see the AAP packet. I just emailed our AART. I'm specifically interested in the GBRS. My DS was in pool with 99th percentile COGAT and 90th percentile NNAT. I would actually be satisfied with a GBRS of 11. From what I read on here, with DS's test scores and 4's on his report cards, I feel he would get into AAP with a GBRS of 11. Of course a higher GBRS of 14 or 15, would be better but I would be satisfied with an 11.

OP, I don't think your teacher/school is trying to sabotage your child's chances of getting into AAP. You could be upset with a GBRS of 6 but not 11. I think 11 is pretty damn good.[/quote]
