My DS got rejected - we are in Darnestown so it would be for Fox Chapel.

His scores were 
MCPS  71%
National 95 %

DH thinks he had a horrible test day - wasn't prepared - didn't understand the questions got confused - and wants to appeal - is that worth it?[/quote]

Honestly, he won't get in, but you can appeal just as a matter of principle. Please check what additional information they allow - it's been restricted compared to previous years. Many years ago, I submitted a WISC-V test (to no avail), but I think even that's not allowed now.
Appeals usually work better when the child is already wait-listed (with 99th percentile scores), and you're trying to get them off the wait-list without chancing the lottery.[/quote]

Not understanding the questions is certainly not a good ground for appeal.  He clearly did understand, as he did better than all but 5% of the national test-taking population.  Darnestown must be in the SES category for the MCPS percentiles.  It appears that the rich screened kids do pretty well on this test - 29% score in the top 5%.[/quote]
