[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks.. More info...All 4s on report card, GBRS 11, high NNAT, lowish Cogat, GBRS 11, advanced reading. Dr. Dahlgren suggested waiting a year to allow time to address the low processing score with a full psych evaluation, and then retake cogat, hopefully a higher GBRS, and then reapply next year.[/quote]

Wow, it is a tough call. It seems like your DC is doing great now and would be able to handle the AAP curriculum. I don't know how much a WISC submitted now would follow your DC in the future. It would remain in the school's files but if appeal this year is not successful would the screening committee next year see a completely fresh screening file, or would materials submitted from the previous year still be visible to them? Would knowing the 16% WISC processing score cause next year's school committee to assign a lower GBRS? Maybe someone knowledgeable on these issues will chime in. Not to second guess Dr. Dahlgren who has so much expertise and saw the most complete picture of your DC. I see that overall eligibility standards were really high this year. Lots of great students seem to have been found ineligible, at least at our school. So general ed should have an academically stronger peer group than last year. [/quote]
