[quote=Anonymous]It is hard to say without more information.

A GBRS of 11 is not high enough to compensate for the test scores and 30 is not really a high DRA score for a 2nd grader seeking AAP admission. My daughter who was admitted last year was a 34 at the end of 1st grade. 
You didn't mention the NNAT. How did he do on it?

I believe the issue is going to lie in the fact that without an IEP, they could not have provided accomodation for the test, and furthermore, without an IEP the committee would be led to believe that your son's true capabilities were shown on the test. If your son does not need accomodation to comprehend what the teacher is saying on a daily basis, it will be a bit tricky to prove that your son could not comprehend the test.

What was his FSIQ on the WISC?  If it is noticably low, you might want to consider omitting the WISC scores from the appeal altogether. You wouldn't want it to work against you.

I would think the best you can do is some solid work samples from school and maybe a letter or two of recommendation.
Best of luck on your appeal![/quote]
