Thanks for the feedback. based on the feedbacks, i dont think i can attach wisc score to appeal or even appeal. may be my DD can try out next year.
But please note that this doesnt make my DD less smart:
1) She repeats any songs after she listens to it for 2 times
2) Recently won a math olympiad prize
3) also a gifted chess player

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD WISC  has come out ...

Verbal Comprehension 113 ==&gt; 81 percentile  = High average
Visual spatial index 102 ==&gt; 55 percentile  = average
Fluid Reasoning Index 112 ==&gt; 79 percentile = High average
Working Memory index 117 ==&gt; 87 percentile  = High average
processing speed ==&gt; 116 ==&gt; 86 percentile  = High average

Please advise if GT appeal works.

Those are average scores especially for an FCPS classroom. Many children in general ed are much brighter. [/quote]

STOP - YOU TROLL. The average FCPS student hasn't taken the WISC and the brightest kids.... they come to the surface after 3rd grade. [/quote]

You don't think most FCPS kids have IQs in the low 100s? Average is 90-110 range. If they tested every kid, pp's kid would be smack in the middle. [/quote][/quote]

I have a DC who is a horrible test taker and an introvert, despite great grades.  DC's NNAT and COGAT were low, GBRS was not great.  WISC was good, but I didn't think it was good enough to appeal.  I didn't.  But...DC got principal placed in AAP anyway (our local one,  but we would not have opted for the center even if we could because DC had a good group of friends).  DC, who is now in 6th grade, has consistently been one of the best students in the class and loves it. Sometimes your school knows what your child needs even if the test scores don't show it.[/quote]
