[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here

I know for a fact there are lot of kids from fcps going to prep centers

And many kids from private or other school district take it without prep

Fcps cannot ignore these scores just bcz they are from private[/quote]

OP, don't feel the need to engage negative posters.  I would write a letter to the superintendent saying what the AAP office personnel told you.  Say this implies that your child is unfairly being denied services based on a presumption that Asians prep.  Say you appealed with a WISC scores from a licensed professional, as required by FCPS.  State that your child scored well within the range of other accepted students on all tests, including the WISC, and was still found ineligible.  Say you have not been given a straight answers as to why the independently administered WISC was not sufficient on appeal.  Also say it would be unfortunate if FCPS is making its decisions based on stereotypes of certain communities.  It may not get your child in, but someone should be at least made to feel uncomfortable if FCPS is in fact using stereotypes (as suggested by the reference to communities prepping) to deny your child services.  If you didn't send your child to a prep center and you used a psychologist that meets FCPS's published requirements, I'd go to the mat on this one.  Also, ignore any Asian bashing on the thread, you and your child are not responsible for others actions.  I, of course, have no idea why your child was denied services, but the reference to communities prepping makes me uncomfortable because individuals shouldn't be judged based on stereotypes.
