[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate the quote boxes so responding to 22:12 post.

From what I have read, mainly on these boards, the WISC is not likely to be that much higher then the NNAT and CogAT. The NNAT was 120 and the highest subscore on the CogAT was a 129 with a composite of 127. If her GBRSs were all Occasionally, I don't know how likely she is to be accepted on appeal. The WISC might be 139 but the GBRS are just not that great.

Are you willing to pay around $400 for a test that might help her get in on appeal but probably won't? The NNAT and CogAT are pretty close in score so I don't know that the WISC is going to be that much higher.

You can ask for a retest on the CogAT next year and submit a package then. Hopefully she will end up with better GBRSs.

Overall, it looks like you have a smart child but not one that is jumping off the page as an AAP student.

[b]I don't know what school you are at or what the Gen Ed program is like. Reading what some people have posted gives me a better appreciation for why AAP is so important for some families. [/b]

No matter what happens, know that you have a bright child and nurture her interests and her education. She has all the raw materials to do very well in school, even outside of AAP. Honors classes and AP and IB options are available once she gets to middle school and high school.[/quote]

+1. I had no idea some schools offered so little enrichment/differentiation. W[b]hen they say kids needs can be met in the general ed classroom, that is pretty unfair considering the huge range of what's offered in general ed[/b]. [/quote]

Agree with this 100%, and I have a kid at a great school so no real dog in this fight. I was surprised to see other schools don't offer what my child has and it did open my eyes to why some parents are really desperate to get their kids into the center. [b]A great school might serve a 125 CogAt kid wonderfully in gen ed, but these almost-title-1 schools seem like they are offering nothing for that category of kids right below center-eligibility[/b].[/quote]

This is the crux of the issue for many FCPS families. If FCPS wants to de-bloat AAP, they need to have a minimum academic standard offering at all the schools, even the ones with lots of poor kids. [/quote]
