Really upset. The school is too EASY for her and son is bored.

Any advice on the appeal?
I heard about getting tested at Geroge Mason.
Looking for any guidance.

I'm sorry, I was in your shoes a few years ago. We appealed and were rejected again (ouch). I asked for level 3 services during 3rd grade, which in our school were once weekly pull-outs with the AART. Applied again for 4th using work samples from those AART lessons. Combined with a MUCH higher GBRS (DC did not gel with 2nd grade teacher but adored 3rd) and DC was accepted for 4th.

This could be a route you consider. From what others have posted, not much weight is given to WISC and related any longer. [/quote]

When did you request the Level III services? This is part of the mystery for me.  I was always worried about what the school samples would be because none of the gen-ed work allowed for any demonstration of giftedness. It was all simple worksheets. My kid mentioned the weekly pullout and I realized that it might be related to Level III. But by the time I realized this, it was way late in the process. So it left me wondering if we likely had inadequate samples. I was so focused on my level IV referral, I didn't bother with Level III. We missed 4th grade now. So I supposed I have to make sure the pullout happens for 5th. But this crazy confusing. My goal is get more challenging work and I keep hearing that Level IV offers more homework and is more advanced in math.[/quote]

PP here. I sent a note to the AART after my DC was denied on appeal. Then I sent another request at the start of the next school year, asking her what the procedure was and if I needed to do anything else to have my child considered. It never hurts to ask! Good luck![/quote]
