True. But is there another logical explanation for kids with high test scores and high teacher ratings being rejected?[/quote]
There are a lot of possible reasons.  Maybe the kid had overall high scores, but the scores were very lopsided.  If the committee doesn't think the kid can handle both the math and the language arts, they might reject a kid.  The school provided work samples are probably much more important than people here realize.  Maybe the kid's samples were poor.  In some cases, maybe there was just a clerical error.  A lot of files are processed quickly and pass through a lot of hands.  It's entirely possible that something gets coded wrong for some small handful of those files.  Or the file generated by the AART may have a mistake.  It's also possible that the parent letter or questionnaire was completely off-putting to the panel members.

The appeals process is there for a reason.  If a child was mistakenly rejected, that mistake will be corrected by the appeals panel.  [/quote]
