[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i think that we need to form a group and write a letter to the AAP appeals office that WISCs of 130+ (maybe 128+) should override all other low scores/GBRS and the kids should be accepted to AAP. How about going to the FCPS main office in one big group to voice the concern?[/quote]

High WISC does not indicate academic excellence which is what AAP is targeted for. High Cogat/NNAT/GBRS does. I wouldn't be surprises if FCPS stops accepting WISC score all together (only accepted for 2e child). This year everyone rejected seems to opting for WISC despite having lower Cogat/NNAT/GBRS![/quote]

High WISC does indicated giftedness. The AAP Program was developed by FCPS to meet VA state mandate for GIFTED education. Not "academic excellence." FCPS uses the word gifted on its AAP website (see below). WISC of 130+ is gifted so your argument is unavailing.

"In Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS), [b]gifted services[/b][u][i] are available to students who exhibit exceptional performance capability in academic, intellectual, and creative endeavors through Advanced Academic Programs (AAP). " - https://www.fcps.edu/index.php/academics/academic-overview/advanced-academic-programs

Also, in applying you fill out a [b]Gifted [/b][/i][/u]Behaviors Rating Scale

So there is that . . . .[/quote]
