[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very harsh HOPE rating: 2 often, 4 sometimes, 4 rarely 1 never.

Exceptional in math, reading, visual art.

NNAT 160 COAT 144 Iready reading 92% math 99%.

Already preparing for appeal given the poor HOPE scale.  DS is in Level II AAP, Above grade level for Lexia Core 5 and ST Math, Frankly I don't know why HOPE rating is so low. [/quote]

I'm sorry, that sounds ridiculous. His scores should merit his entry alone.

I would ask to speak to his teacher. Not to attack them, but to say I'm concerned there are issues happening in the classroom that I'm not aware of. Scores like that merit an explanation. And yes, the smart, quiet kids are often overlooked.[/quote]

Well OP doesn't even know if he got in or not, does she? This is the problem with asking for these packets before getting decisions, what are you going to do with them except speculate, speculate speculate? I guess this PP might want to schedule a WISC just in case.[/quote]

PP here, I requested packet just to learn not just HOPE rating, but also what school work sample is like etc for future preparation because I have younger kids.  I am going to wait for AAP decision before talking to his teacher.  Not sure if WISC is needed because his test scores are high enough.  Do I have time to do a WISC before appeal deadline (in May?) [/quote]

Around this time last yr I scheduled WISC for April after spring break, when we expected to get results. My child had one outlier score on cogat that I knew wasn’t accurate (based on other testing and a known issue on that day for that section). If child got in, I would’ve canceled the test. There are a lot of people trying to get in for WISC testing after the results come out so I was glad to have it booked in advance. I also wanted testing info back with enough time that it could help inform the appeal write up. [/quote]

Yes, this is just being proactive, especially if you already knew the GBRS was not going to help.  [/quote]
