[quote=Anonymous]This is the thing I find perplexing about all of it.  Kids take a beginning of year math reasoning test.  They also take iready.  DRA is capped at one year above grade level, but it shouldn't be.  As flawed as iready is, it pretty readily identifies kids who are far above grade level.

I'm the 11:21 PP, and my highly gifted child scored a 580 on iready math and a 610 on reading in 2nd grade, which are both well above grade level.  He also had over 140 on both CogAT and WISC FSIQ.  The teacher still gave a low GBRS.  My high GBRS, more normal AAP kid has always scored at the high end of on-grade-level.

If your kid was rejected with a high FSIQ and/or CogAT, how advanced is your child?  Does your child have maxed out DRA?  High iready scores?  Is your child doing things well above grade level?  I can kind of understand rejecting kids with high test scores who are not advanced, but it's mindboggling to me to reject kids who are both very advanced and have high IQs.[/quote]
