Submitting an appeal and getting WISC done. would appreciate any suggestions and thoughts on what additional info to include with appeal?

Don't appeal. Your child is definitely smart and qualified.  The issue is the HOPE rating.  Anything in the sometimes and rarely will automatically DQ him/her.

[b]The WISC would need to be 150+[/b]

Most of these schools are looking for the 'MODEL' student.

While your child is smart, his/her current teacher did not give him/her a great hope rating and that really is the key.  The grades is just a filter to see who is eligible and the real deciding factor is whether your child is going to be problematic for the school/teacher.

I rather you not get your hopes up and go through all these efforts and spend $400 at GMU to do the WISC test to end up only in disappointment.[/quote]

You are completely insane.  A child does not need to be above the 99.9th percentile to get accepted into a program that takes around 20% of the population.

I would not bother with the WISC, and instead include new work samples.  Explain your child's anxiety and give reasons why AAP placement would be much better for your child's anxiety than a gen ed placement.  You can also use the anxiety as a reason your child is not functioning well in gen ed and why your child's teacher is not seeing the giftedness (despite rating your child as exceptional in 5 subjects).[/quote]
