[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was the poster who decided to not do the WISC for financial reasons, and as everyone suggested, the appeal was denied.  I was frustrated to a certain point, but know that I plan to be on top of things to be sure that he is getting the challenges he needs.  Since our school has school based GT as well, there is a chance that he will be placed in that class anyway.  Unfortunately, our school is going through a principal transition right now (ours retired) so a lot that is normally settled is up in the air.  I plan to get in touch once the new principal has some time to breathe...certainly do not want to get off on the wrong foot.

My plan for next year is to see how things go, and decide if I need to reapply for the following year. (at which point I probably would get the WISC).

I found it very interesting that my son's teacher, and guidance counselor who we met with towards the end of the year both said "we would not be surprised at all if "x" matured immensely over the summer, and ended up placed in AAP for 4th grade.  This was after telling me that maturity, or lack thereof did not figure in at all in their GBRS ratings, which I highly suspected.[/quote]

well it is heartening to hear some appeals are denied. From what I've been reading most are granted and that bloats the class sizes.[/quote]

DD was denied on appeal with a private WISC. I don't know what the cut off was that year, but was surprised that an IQ of 133 wasn't high enough. As far as the GBRS goes, I think that was what did in our DD, who was very impulsive with below average self control. Our elementary school GT teacher really just didn't like her.
