I'm not saying that the GBRS should be weighed more than the WISC. I fully understand how rare a WISC score of ~150 is, as I keep noting that in every response.  Most kids in LIV are not in that same league.  I'm saying that LIV ineligibility is not a denial of service.  [/quote]

Then FCPS needs to publish something indicating how they're meeting the VA gifted mandate for those clearly gifted kids who are not going to receive LIV services.  They are mandated by law to provide gifted services for gifted children.  They can't just arbitrarily decide that kids with high IQs aren't gifted, nor can they nebulously insist that they're somehow meeting the gifted mandate by giving those kids gen ed.[/quote]

This is the crux of the issue right here.

My understanding is that the GBRS was implemented to catch the kids who didn't test well for whatever reason, but it sounds like in practice it's keeping kids out of AAP who fall under the mandate for gifted services based on IQ scores, which the CogAT is a proxy for. [/quote]
