[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It appears that the difference in many of the discrepancies in high test scores not eligible, vs comparatively low scores and eligible, is GBRS. I had no idea this was such a weighted factor as it is seemingly such a subjective assessment. If a child's test scores identify a gifted mind, it would stand to reason that that child would be a good candidate for a more challenging curriculum regardless of the teachers experience in a normal classroom environment. I certainly don't want to trivialize the educators assessment but a subjective factor should not outweigh otherwise qualifying test scores (in my opinion).

NNAT 136
cogat 128
GBRS ?

Not eligible[/quote]

Your child only had one high test score, not two (not plural) and it was the less important of the two. I'm not trying to be mean but had your child been in the pool from both high test scores (132 or above on both tests), it is highly unlikely you're child would not be admitted. [/quote]

My child had similar scores last year and didn't get in with a gbrs of 11.  We did the Wisc which was 129 and child was accepted.  The school isn't contacted on appeal.  It's frustrating when kids who weren't in the pool at all get in and your child who was in the pool is denied.  You should appeal.  [/quote]

PP - DS has NNAT - 126, COGAT 128 not in. WISC V - 125 (FRI 99%, VSI 97%), not sure if we should appeal, do you know what the committee looks for in WISC V sub scores[/quote]
