[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone know about appealing?  our son's grades were above the median - would just like to know all of the factors that went into the decision.    [/quote]
Is he above median in all the subtests? If so, yes that would be very frustrating.

I agree, and I would certainly appeal in that case, but to be honest I wouldn't really expect to get in off appeal (I don't think test results are, or should be, the only thing they look at).[/quote]

I believe test results and grades should be the only things that should be considered. I believe there should be clearly identified and communicated cutoff point too any students above the cutoff points should be admitted. This human factor like teacher recomendation, equity balance etc, along with limited slots is unfair to many Highly gifted kids who are left out in the loacl school without appropriate challenge. MCPS parents should fight the system to stop this unfairness. [/quote]
I totally agree. Acceptance should be objective, not subjective.
