[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Appeal got rejected, and spent the last week or so trying not to wonder why and be bummed out.

Then this week, we unexpectedly received a letter from the school inviting my kid to Advanced Math in the fall. Makes me feel a bit better that my kid didn't fall completely through the cracks. Might try again next year.

For reference:
rising 3rd grader (in screening pool)
NNAT 160
Cogat 144
WISC 131 
GBRS half Cs half Os (I'm guessing this is the main reason for the rejection)

The Occasionally Observes are a huge issue and the declining test scores. The WISC is high, I don't care what anyone says 97/98th percentile is high. But it does not hit the magic 132, which was the gold standard for a while, and the fact that the test scores for the NNAT and CogAT and then the WISC diminish is probably a flag to the Committee.

Your best bet is going to be working on the skills that were reviewed as Occassionally Observed with your child. I would not include the WISC if you apply again, it does not help your case.[/quote]
