[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Daughter is in Haycock 2nd grade and did not get in. It's definitely a surprise to me, cause she was in pool and the school AART teacher told us she is 99% in! :(

NNAT: 149
CogAct (V:128; Q: 137; N: 131) Composite: 138;
iReady: Math 91%; Reading 99%;
GBRS: 4CQs

Parent referral form focused on her inviting personality (friendly, collaborative and compassionate) and reading habit (avid reader with exceptional memory).

Can you help me de-puzzle what might cause her being rejected?
Any advice on appealing strategy is appreciated!
Does getting a WISC score increase our chance of success?[/quote]

She is likely a casualty of the randomness of the admissions process.  You're unlikely to come up with any reason for the rejection.  Focus on why your child's needs cannot be met in a regular classroom when you write your appeal.  If the work samples from school were sloppy, submit better ones.  Give very specific anecdotes about your child's gifted behaviors.  [/quote]

I agree in general with this post though I don't think the process is random. It is just extremely inconsistent. Your child's rejection is baffling because she is high in everything. What I have heard of a lot lately is kids with much lower scores but high GBRS being accepted while high scores and lower GBRS are rejected. Your child is high in everything. I think I'd focus on a strong letter.  [/quote]
