[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It isn't black and white.

Test scores should help schools to identify gifted kids who weren't previously recognized as such, but those scores don't really seem to do much except get a child into the pool.

Low GBRS appears to be enough to keep children out of services.  On these boards, I've only seen one report where a child got in with high test scores, yet low GBRS.  There are a plethora of those who got in with "low" test scores, but a high GBRS.

Obviously, it is a tough job for the selection committee.  There are many shades of gray.  But there are cracks and gifted children are falling through.

Actually forget the GBRS.  Just go by grades.   MY DD had straight Os in Kindergarten and !st grade. Why test her?  Why run a GBRS.  Just put her in.  There is areason why they look at many things not just one.

AAP is not a a pool restricted by maximum enrollment.  They take in as many as are eligible.  So PP, you should not worry about other kids because they are not the reason why your child was denied.

And if you believe  the teachers were unfair in the GBRS then you should focus on the appeal.  That is why an appeals process was set up.  And more than half the appeals are successful. Good luck!
