[quote=Anonymous]OP here -

My interest isn't in getting my DC into a program that they're not qualified for, to the detriment of both her education and that of the other students in the program.  If I came across that way, I apologize.

My original question, which was answered well, was how the other seats in a local level IV classroom are filled when there aren't enough center-eligible children to go around.  There are always children that didn't make the official cut yet are still capable of handling AAP IV, otherwise Local IV wouldn't make sense.

In both my original post and my follow up I think I was clear that no matter what my next step is individualized testing and I remember asking for recommendations as to where to get that down with the shortest delay.  I'm still interested in those recommendations if anyone has them.

If the individualized test comes back and the scores are still 90th percentile then of course we'll question our intent to put her into AAP level IV.  My own feeling is that her abilities were not captured well on that first COGAT, but honestly I have no way of knowing whether she's 90%, 95%, 98% whatever just from observation, and the teacher probably may not either.[/quote]
