[quote=Anonymous]01:07;  you have no choice but to partially leave the evaluation to the school.  However, good WISC scores administered by a state licensed psychologist will be factored in.  And the parents have a change to write something.   I do not think it is as subjective as you thing.  What I can say is everyone that I know personally that put a decent package together was admitted.

The best thing to do is to address your concerns to the AAP resource teacher.

With that said, what I would do 1) get to know the 2nd grade teacher, 2) supply the school with the results on your DC's scores, 3) prepare to get DC retested privately in the second grade, and 4) put the best case for DC in the parent form.

The people that had problems were ones with good but not great NNAT or COGAT (one really high subtest, the others good...but maybe 110-120).  The parent does nothing to help build the case, and the the child does not show gifted behavior in school (shy?), so has a low GBRS and mediocre report cards.   WISC and parental involvement stops it.

My situation was all the teachers though DD belonged, but she did not test well (gets nervous and wants to be the first done).  She had great GBRS (14)...With the help of the AAP resource teacher and 2nd grade teacher, we put a strong package.  She was admitted.

I also think the real bias is in schools that do not have Local Level IV:  some deflate GBRS estimates to keep the best kids locally.  But that is a non-verified accusation.[/quote]
