[quote=Anonymous]Congratulations to those who got in and best of luck if you choose to reapply in the future for those who did not.

For the initial file, my child had a great HOPE score but low CogAt (115V, 109 NV, 126 Q, 119 composite). Fall Iready was not great either, 90th math, 87th reading. DC was new to FCPS this year from overseas so no NNAT. My child's best subject by far is language arts/social studies though so the test scores showing math as the best subject didn't really made any sense. I took DC for a WISC and DC got 146 VCI, 115 VSI, 126 FRI, (and 127 WMI and 123 PSI) with 136 FSIQ.

For the appeal, I submitted the WISC along with new winter reading Iready 94th (skipped winter math since that went from 90th to 73rd), and a strong end of year oral PRF provided by the classroom teacher to argue the CogAt verbal score was an outlier and combined, the other scores suggest the LA/SS needs of my child can't be met in a gen ed classroom etc... I also submitted new work samples- an excellent (IMO) social studies powerpoint presentation, science writing from the school weather unit and a multiplication/division worksheet just to show DC can keep up there.

I never involved the AART with the process... I found her nice but intimidating. I learned most of it here and had a short email exchange with the classroom teacher. Posting here in case this helps anyone in the future, as this board was so incredibly helpful to me.[/quote]
