[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]It can be a bit of a struggle from out of state... Apply OP and see what happens. It is a very simple process. [/quote] OP here , thanks Did you wisc before applying or were your DC scores already above cut-off? Please advise[/quote] PP here. Did not get a WISC. Scores were from a different test altogether, administered by the state my child last attended. There is a list of tests fcps accepts from other states and it is one of those. In our case, those scores were in the upper 99%. We submitted only the test scores we already had, parent referal form, latest report card, and GT identification letter from the previous school (and made a note that the child was identified GT in another previous state.) No work samples or gbrs (work samples were in a moving truck somewhere and the prior school was closed for the summer.) We know of about a dozen other families that moved here in the past few years and they all had the same easy and simple experience getting their children placed properly. Most of them had similar scores as my child; a few had slightly lower scores. Several others who did not know about the placement process were given the cogat in the early fall by fcps and identified to switch at semester, and one was recommended to switch to AAP a month into the school year (Near genius child w/very high test scores from years back whose parents were unaware of how the fcps gifted program was structured and did not know of the center schools or the application process.) Fcps works very hard to properly identify and place qualifying children, and to also provide accelerated services in areas like math and reading for kids who do not qualify but who need enrichment in certain areas. This district is very proactive with providing whatever advanced services are necessary. Of the dozen or so students that I personally know who transferred in from out of state, every single one of them were placed in AAP, most at the start of the school year and the rest by the end of the first semester.[/quote] Thanks a lot !!! Its great to hear from a parent who has been through a similar situation. [/quote]
