[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What would you think about a FSIQ 126 and GBRS of 13?

We have no other test scores to submit as we're moving to FCPS from overseas where they do not do group testing like NNAT and COGAT.  I would imagine that the review of a new entering student's file would be done by the same panel doing these reviews, or is that not the case?[/quote]

I gess different deadlies for the new students coming from overseas?
If that's the initial aplication, I would say fairly good chance.  GBRS of 13 is fairly good and FSIQ 126 is not bad, so overall fairly good chance.

Well, we can't submit the file until our child is registered in the county, which won't be until we return to the US this summer.  I'm just keeping track of these discussions to see whether it is worthwhile to request that he be reviewed for the program, considering his scores.  The appeal threads are the only ones where people list WISC scores, and it's helpful to gauge where he might fall on the continuum.

Another issue to consider is that there appears to be a mini-baby-boom with this year's third graders, which may be why someone mentioned a possible tougher review this year?  In each of DS's school years, they have had to add an additional classroom (this was true when we were in the US and when we moved overseas).  The headmaster of our current school attributes the mini-boom to post-9/11 babymaking....which I suppose might work out, if you consider that children with a birthdate in Sept/Oct 2002 (today's oldest second graders) would have been conceived in the first few months after the attacks.[/quote]
