[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not in 149 WISC-V - all subsections were high
3 new samples (realistic fiction, science oriented writing and math problem solving)
3 recommendation letters

Original submission CogAt 141, 4FO, NNAT 126 (can't remember the exact number)

No words. Beyond frustrated.

I am the poster with this result.  Thank you to the OPs for your sentiments.  Beyond the test scores alone, my child had produced really great work samples.  Also, the recommendations were stellar (2 from language teachers who have taught her for 2-3 years straight - my child likes learning new languages).  I am just flabbergasted.  Also, I think it's important to share this information even if like this so that others know.  This really really seems wrong to me.  If anyone has any constructive ideas about how I can try to address this or even raise awareness, I would welcome input.    [/quote]

To be perfectly honest, AAP is beneath your child, and your child would have been bored out of his/her mind.  I'd look into private schools, homeschooling, outside enrichment/tutoring programs, or the like so your child's needs might actually be met.

You should also apply to Davidson Young Scholars ( https://www.davidsongifted.org/young-scholars ) They have a lot of resources for kids with IQs above 145.  [/quote]

Thank you.  We've actually been doing a lot of enrichment for her since she was young, based on her interests.  She really enjoys learning languages, has insatiable appetite for science, etc.  Avid reader etc.  Thanks for the referral on Davidson Young. It came up on my research recently after we received the WISC score.  Ironic that she qualifies for that but is found ineligible for FCPS AAP![/quote]
