Well, the ineligibility letter says the the program is for students whose needs are not being met in the regular classroom. So if you're going to appeal, you need to make sure your appeal responds to this point.

That's absurd.  Many of the kids in AAP can't have their needs met in the regular classroom because they're smart.  OP's kid should be in that category, as evidenced by test scores and school recommendations.

They also seem to have a catch-22 set up regarding whether your child's needs can be met.  If your child isn't getting good grades, they could argue that the child is struggling in gen ed and thus unsuited to the additional rigor of AAP.  If your child is getting straight 4s and is deemed above grade level in all metrics, they could argue that your child is thriving in gen ed and thus doesn't need AAP.  If they aren't largely using scores and school recommendations, how on earth can people possibly decide whether a child needs AAP or doesn't?  [/quote]

That's why a parent writing an appeal letter needs to be very specific and give examples of reasons the child's needs cannot be met in the regular classroom.
