[quote=Anonymous]I’ve had two go through AAP, now IN HS, one at TJ and live in the land of TJ crazy OP.   I’m focused on the numerical error in score. The rest I’d just noise.  So I’m going to give you a slightly, but not completely different take.  You said CogAT, NNAT were below cutoff.  If the WISC is below 130, you got perfect advice.  Your kid was not going to be accepted, and that’s what happened.

If the WISC was 130 or above, then I would calmly and reasonably contact the regional super and request that my child’s screening folder be sent with the correct score to the out of season screening team.  AAP admissions (and TJ admissions) are notorious tight lipped. But, they have a written process for screening kids for AAP who move into Fairfax County after the normal screening deadline and getting them a quick answer. Ask for your kids file to be reviewed under that process because of the administrative error IF THE WISC IS AT LEAST 130.

Definitely treat possible ADHD. Not to get into AAP, but because it is so hard on the kid. Says the mom of 2 ADHD kids.

Always remember principal placement is renewed each year and completely discretionary by the principal.  A principal forced to put your kid in against their better judgment will be looking for reasons not to renew.  And if your kid really starts third grade light years ahead of the GE class and it’s a problem, nothing stops a principal placement then. [/quote]
