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]

You clearly don't understand IQ tests or what a score of 140+ even means.  A 140 WISC is very rare and means that the kid is undoubtedly gifted and undoubtedly at the top of the FCPS population.  A GBRS of 4 Cs just means that the kid is an above average, neat, compliant, teacher's pet.  It is flat out ridiculous to suggest that GBRS should outweigh the WISC.  You're embarrassing yourself by even making that argument.  Those high IQ kids need gifted programming.  Your 120 IQ, high GBRS kid is a garden variety upper middle class kid and would thrive just fine in gen ed.  I know you're trying to cling to that high GBRS as a sign that your kid is something special, but it's just not true.  [/quote]
