[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

One thought on randomness: we are an Asian family. Could this be a factor in the decision process? I hope not![/quote]

I don’t think so.  It’s an error that your kid did not get in. [/quote]

Your daughter's higher scores in NNAT and COGAT compared to iready math show a clear case of test prepping - hence NOT admitted. :lol:

This PP is an idiot. Ignore them. You should definitely appeal bc your kid should be in. [/quote]

The FCPS folks are not idiots  they CAUGHT you red handed with test prepping and decided to make an example

[/quote]

This does not look like a CoGat profile of a prepped kid and until this year, every single teacher I’ve talked to said iready is BS and totally unreliable. However, a 91% on iready is not a bad score and really doesn’t refute the high Q score. Further, the teacher clearly thinks this child is exhibiting giftedness based on the GBRS. I’m firmly anti-prepping and think the people doing it have totally undermined the value that any testing provides, but this doesn’t look like a prepped profile to me. [/quote]

+1  The PP is either an idiot or a troll.  iReady math would be much easier to prep into the 99th percentile than CogAT, and most of the kids doing intensive CogAT prep are also taking outside math classes.  The perfect GBRS would be very hard to prep for.  Generally, a prepped profile would be one where the CogAT is middling high (135-ish, but would have been a 120-125 without the prep), and the GBRS is pretty low.  [/quote]

If this kid took a Wisc v the fsi will be less than 120. Classic test prep case - good job FCPS for your decision[/quote]
