[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We applied from the private school and didn’t get in. How do we even know if we are “in pool” or not? Is it worth appealing? Also, we are about to change school pyramids and will provide a new address if we appealed. Does it make a difference? [/quote]

I don’t think private school students can be in pool, that is only for FCPS students who take the ngat at the same time as the rest of their second grade cohort. [/quote]

Do you think it makes sense to appeal? Also does it make a difference that we applied from Woodson HS pyramid and now we bought a new house and moved to Lake Braddock HS pyramid (which is I think less competitive in terms of parent population)? So when we appeal we will have a new address. Or it doesn’t make a difference?[/quote]

Moving will not make a difference. If you have a new wisc score, then that might make an appeal worthwhile. [/quote]

Got it, thank you! We didn’t take WISC. Is there still time for it (given appeal deadline is May 01)? Sorry for dumb questions, I am new to it. [/quote]

Yes, there’s still time for a WISC and it provides really helpful info on your child’s learning strengths/ weaknesses etc, but I’d call soon to book it. You’ll hear on this forum that the committee will only except GMU for WISC but we had a successful appeal with a private WISC … in addition to submitting new work samples, and other school testing done after the packet was compiled.

Thanks a lot! Can you recommend a provider you used please?[/quote]

FCPS seems to like GMU. For what it is worth, WISC scores don’t seem to have a lot of success based on what people have posted here. [/quote] WISC below 140 usually doesn’t have any weight.  If your child can get 145 or above it’s worth submitting.  That’s 99.9%.  [/quote]

For the kids rejected despite very high test scores on multiple exams , does a wisc matter? I’d assume the rejection was based on the non test factors and the wisc won’t change that? [/quote]
