[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is very frustrating when you know as a parent that your kid has potential, but can't get through the system for whatever reason.

My child scored very superior is all of the WISC sub scores, ended up with IQ=154 and all subtests in 19's expect for two 18's.

The GBRS in the original screen was low at 9. When I met the AART for appeal, she was basically dismissing the WISC and the evaluation report of the psychologist and was stuck in the low GBRS grade. He ended up not winning the appeal either, still don't know if the AART had a say or not since in the posts I always see kids with above 150 and 140 in subtests get it. I eneded up putting him in private gifted school and he couldn't be happier and doing better. I am here for my DD pretty much going through the same thing. I have appealed with high WISC and low GBRS. I know all those teachers, AART, principal and committee was wrong about son and the psychologist was right. I may end up doing the same for DD. Ultimately, for us the price to make our kids excel went way beyond paying $400 for WISC since we believe in it. I say it's a personal choice and no one should tell you what's right or wrong.[/quote]

Something does not add up.  Unless there was a procedural screw up (missing the deadline or something), or other reason to exclude the test (e.g., issue with the licence), I can not imagine how a 154 FSIQ would be rejected.  This is either a troll/sock puppet, a person that screwed up the process, or someone with a real grevance.  If it is the latter, I suggest going to the school board.

a score of 154 would place this child among a handful of the most profoundly gifted children in the county ( a very very small number). In terms of intelligence, this child would run circles around almost all aap DCs. And, a 9 is not that low for GBRS (granted, it's below average) but with an IQ near Einstein's I would think the Committee would overlook it. [/quote]
