[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rejected from both, no waitlists either.  Also feeding to Lee MS.

MCPS percentiles (national were much higher, especially verbal)
83% Verbal
94% Quantitative
99% Nnonverbal

All As in 5th grade, 99% on both MAPs, 5s on PARCC tests.

[b]Will appeal[/b], but appeal just gets on waitlist for "Not recommended" students.[/quote]
What are your grounds for an appeal, if I may ask? According to MCPS, the one and only valid reason is some kind of 'undocumented hardship', and nothing else. Not being snarky, just genuinely curious.

01/16/2019 19:31 poster here.  MCPS appeal is looking for"a significant change in student performance or student services since the close of marking period one in Grade 5."  DC's fall Map-M and MAP-R scores and percentiles both were lower than previous tests.  The winter MAP-M score went up 17 points, well beyond the 10-point growth projection.  MAP-R will be later this month, so I'm hoping to have a good score on that to report, especially to balance the relative weakness of the CogAT verbal score.  DC does have a 504 for hearing impairment, but that does not severely affect class, or so we think.

We're also going to talk to the guidance counselor.  We were told by a teacher that several kids in the school were invited on appeal after initial denial last year.[/quote]
