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.

The WISC would need to be 150+

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]

Don't listen to this person. What about the VAALLSS? One benefit of the WISC is it is more sensitive so if you know your child has strong verbal skills, that could be more clear on the WISC than these other crappy metrics FCPS uses. Also you mention the reading I-Ready but do you have more recent scores that validate that your DC is a strong reader? Otherwise, focus on the work samples to back it up!

The HOPE might be good depending on what the areas of strength were. You don't need a perfect HOPE. What boxes were checked?

I don't think the WISC needs to be 150+ but just notably higher than the current tests.[/quote]
