[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone in this thread have a homeschool/private school student who recently applied for Level IV AAP?

My daughter is in 2nd grade now, goes to a private school and because we had to pay for private testing since we're not yet part of FCPS, I went ahead and did the WISC over the summer. Many told me it was the "gold standard" in terms of test scores and encouraged me to just have her do that one versus the ones administered in FCPS schools. Her composite score was 129 (97th percentile). Her GBRS from her teachers was awesome -- got all the highest marks. I submitted a few work samples as well.

Anyway, we got the letter yesterday that she was rejected from Level IV.

Any thoughts on this? Seems kind of strange based on what I have read. And of course the rejection letter comes with no explanation.

The other thing that never occurred to me until yesterday is that the fall Level IV application period is supposedly for kids who want to enter into FCPS in January 2020. As I said, my daughter's in 2nd grade now so she wouldn't even be able to start until fall 2020 (3rd grade). So....did I make a total bonehead mistake and apply too soon? Is that why she was rejected?

Thanks for any insight you all have.[/quote]

Can you call your local school AART and ask them what you should do? My kid is a second grader in FCPS so I know what that system looks like. I would imagine that you would apply in the normal window like a FCPS student. Looking at the website it says "Advanced Academic Programs Level IV Referral Form for new FCPS students (enrolled after January 2019) due to AART at attending elementary school or school counselor at the middle school." Your child is not newly enrolled in FCPS right now and it sounds like you are looking for next year.

But I wold call your neighborhood ES and ask the AART there what the process is. [/quote]

Great advice, thank you. Yeah, I think I screwed this up because I was supposed to apply in January, not two months ago. I will call my local ES and get their advice. I also wonder if appealing with a letter that says I was looking for fall 2020 admission might help....but I have very little insight to the process so who knows [/quote]
