[quote=Anonymous]If your kid had the high test scores and is above grade level in every metric, then ignore the posters who are acting like your kid doesn't belong and you need to learn to accept being told 'no.'  Your kid absolutely should have been admitted, and the system is broken.

From here:  
1.  Hope your child is principal placed.
2.  Apply again in 3rd.  If any of the scores were lacking, get another test.  Make sure you have good work samples.  With any luck, the 3rd grade teacher will wonder why your kid isn't in AAP, and will give a great HOPE.  You will hopefully have specific examples of how and why your kid's needs aren't being met in the gen ed classroom.
3. Put your kid in AoPS or RSM math classes.  Your kid will be even better prepared for AAP/advanced math in subsequent grades than the ones who were admitted into AAP.
4. Encourage your kid to make productive use of the absurd amounts of free time they're likely to have in gen ed.  Make sure they have a lot of books to read.
