Do you think I should file appeal?[/quote]

No.

I think you shoukd wait, give your kid time to mature, and if the child shows a big jump in ability next year then request a retest in fourth grade.  If the scores go up significantly, tyen refer again for fifth grade or middle school admittance.[/quote]

Don't listen to this. Why not file an appeal? I would want to know I did everything I could to try. [/quote]

I have two kids who have gone through AAP. One a shoo in and the type of kid AAP was designed for. The other with scores very similar to OPs kid. The two extra years at the top of the base school and also of getting very small group AAP pull outs and advanced math did wonders for DC2s confidence, overall academic skills and knowledge. The retest jumped over ten points to 99%, and I attribute this to the newfound confidence eliminating the anxiety DC used to have about testing.

AAP is not the end all be all for all kids, and there is so much that is beneficial for many kids to be at the top academically during their formative years vs always being in a race to catch up.

I am a huge advocate for AAP but do not feel it is always the best place for every reasonably smart kid at the exact same timeline as everyone else.[/quote]
