[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have different take on WISC.  We had it done last year and it was very high 99.9+%. (DC also had very high Cogat of over 140, but GBRS was FOs.) It didn't work on the appeal.  However, this is the reason why I think you should get it if you can afford it.  If the WISC score is really high then, even if the appeal doesn't work, (1) you can share that with your local school principal and AART as one of the reasons why your child should get into principal placement local LIV and (2) you can also share the WISC score next year with your AART and home room teacher in the beginning of the year to talk through your child's assessment and why you think advanced academics would be helpful for him/her.

What are they doing in class now that demonstrates it?[/quote]

Sure, WISC can maybe help in principal placement. I am unfortunately at a center school. So that doesn’t work....[/quote]

What exactly is "principle placement"?  I'm in a local IV school and as a matter of fact, the AART called to encourage me (also expressed surprise/disappointment that DD did not get IN),  From the package teachers gave her pretty strong support (3 CO, 1 FO).  But AART never mentioned any possibility of "principle placement", only gave some recommendation on what to look for in new work samples.  So does the “principle placement" possibly happen after exhausting my appeal or i can directly apply for it with local AART?  We would stay at local AAP any ways because of being in immersion program. [/quote]

Most schools with a Local Level IV do not have enough kids accepted into AAP by the Committee to fill an entire class. Schools with a Local Program will fill the class with kids that the Principal Places. Many times kids who were in-pool or parent referred but not accepted into AAP are considered because the kids have the test scores and interests in participating in AAP. Those kids can be removed if they are struggling or if enough kids who have been selected into AAP move into the program and they need a spot. Principal Placed kids are not allowed to take the AAP classes in MS because they were not accepted into AAP. [/quote]

But luckily, MS has Honors level courses which are the same as AAP and are open for all kids to register for.  To me, getting to stay at the neighborhood school and being principal placed, then doing all Honors in MS isn't really a bad set up.  In fact, why isn't all AAP done this way, instead of all this aap center nonsense.[/quote]

Come back to us when you have experience at a center school, before talking about getting rid of them.  [/quote]

I rather my kid not get as a rigorous education (and that’s questionable) than to deal with arrogant center parents and kids. You guys are insufferable bunch.  And that local level kid is going to be in the same classes in MS as your center kid. [/quote]
