FCPS is not stating that they are incapable or unwilling to educate your highly gifted kid.  You just want the kid placed into LIV while the district found your kid eligible for LIII.  You may say the kid's GBRS shouldn't factor as much as the WISC score or that their classroom work samples weren't up to standard because they are "bored," but you'll lose the fight right there.  You're conflating the issue.  Being found ineligible for LIV is not a denial of service.  Either way, you should seek out some programs for your child since they are in the truly gifted range.  You can start with FCAG.  They have a lot of resources they can point you to.[/quote]

My kids got in, so I don't have a dog in this fight.  But, you're flying in the face of decades of gifted research.  Kids with gifted level IQs flat out need gifted services.  LIV is what FCPS uses to meet the state's gifted education mandate.  Offering LIII to highly gifted kids just doesn't cut it and is effectively a denial of service.  It is completely ludicrous for FCPS to be placing kids with IQs over 140 into gen ed, especially when the majority of gen ed kids with IQs above even 120 will be in AAP.  [/quote]
