[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are new to all this and do not understand many things. We met the school's gifted administrator. She is saying that the appeal is now between the FCPS and us and the school is not involved at all. In all our meetings with the classroom teacher throughout the year in the past, she indicated that my daughter has been one of the top performers in the class and is above her grade level in Math and Reading. However, she did not indicate so in her file. We are trying to meet with her if she can help my daughter's case some how but she does not want to meet with us. She is asking us to meet with the school's gifted administrator and we already did! I do not believe the school presented my daughter's case in a fair manner. My daughter is devastated with her rejection and with this mental state I am not sure how she would perform in WISC. Does any one know what can be done if we disagree with the GBRS and completeness/fairness of the school provided information? Thanks.[/quote]

We have the same issue and he is in 3rd grade. My son`s GBRS score  was a 7. His Cogat scores were a 136 composite. His DRA is 138 and also he has mostly O`s on his report. The school said that we need to deal with the appeals and I don`t want to pay for a WISC. The comments and the GBRS do not match at all.[/quote]

How is his DRA a 138?  I thought that reading level scale only went up to 80 or so?  See [url]http://www2.scholastic.com/browse/article.jsp?id=4476[/url]

I'm not being snarky, just curious as to what that 138 number is.  I am moving into Fairfax with a rising third grader this summer and will be submitting my child's packet for review for placement in the AAP program as soon as we get him registered.  Should I include his reading level (currently DRA 44) along with the test scores?[/quote]
