Thanks. My child's scores are good 
NNAT 145,
COGAT 131
GBRS 11
DRA 24, hoping additional testing will support the appeal.[/quote]
What were the cogat sub scores?  The 24 DRA is quite low for kids applying to AAP.  If the cogat verbal score is also low, the committee probably thought your child couldn't handle AAP language arts.  I would then focus on showing that your child can handle the language arts portion of AAP when you write your appeal.  [/quote]

The verbal score of COGAT is low but English is the second language in our household. The child was introduced to english in Pre-K. She is bilingual and is doing well on our native language as well.[/quote]

That should make the appeal easier.  I would emphasize that she is bilingual, perhaps include a work sample in her native language, and if you have anything showing good growth in English skills, add that.  I would imagine her Quantitative and Nonverbal scores were quite high, so also give examples of why her needs in math and science can't be met in gen ed.  I know they have a box to check for ESOL, but I wonder whether the AAP panel somehow didn't understand the ESOL status.  [/quote]

Thanks for sharing the advice, very helpful. Since she cleared the English Proficiency test in her K she was not put in ESOL category. She is doing well reading and writing English but still getting there in terms of vocabulary. We feel that is the reason for 112 in Verbal section. She is a 99 percentile in Non-verbal and 97 percentile in Math.[/quote]
