[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For appeals, would you mention in a letter that an older sibling attends AAP? What should be included in the letter? I am at a loss. My daughter had a perfect GBRS and rave reviews from teacher, max DRA, and checked yes to above grade level for both math and Lang arts on GBRS sheet. Report cards all perfect. She is light years ahead of her peers. Her one downfall was NNAT. Not in pool score. Feeling like we got screwed because she didn’t have the CogAT this year. I am certain she would have done well on CogAT.  Any ideas? Thanks.[/quote]

if what you wrote is all true, get a WISC done.  I find it hard to believe she didn't get it w/ a raving GBRS.  There's more weight on GBRS than NNAT.  So, if it's test core an issue, in your opinion, then, have her take the WISC![/quote]

That’s what I thought too. But when you look at the ones who got IN, all had higher NNAT scores. I think they weighed NNAT higher than GBRS because we were all virtual. They probably felt the teacher couldn’t rate properly this year. [/quote]

This is not true in my DC case who didn't get in.  NNAT 137, GBRS= 4 FO from a teacher who only saw him briefly and met him via virtual.  The comments were excellent but the ratings only were FO!!!  WTF!?  If the comments were weak and limited, it'd be one thing but the comments were so specific and raving...but at the end only gave an FO.  So, if the committee was looking for high NNAT, that's not it... some other BS subjective crap they are looking for, and I heard it depends WHO in the committee reviews your kids' file...they may get in or not.  What a cluster of jokes.[/quote]
