That's strange. Could it be discrimination?

Happened to my Black kid a few years ago and I thought it was discrimination. A FERPA request a couple years later showed the AART asking the principal multiple times why DC wasn’t in the pool. DC’s third grade teacher pulled us aside and recommended that we parent refer DC in. We did and DC went in for 4th.
If you feel discriminated against, move your kid to a different school

This makes zero sense. Why does the exchange show discrimination? The principal and the AART have nothing to do with who is in-pool and who isn’t.

There is more to it and I’m not gonna share everything because some anonymous person wants to be nosey. The principal was discriminating against my p and also a teacher or two as well. I have nothing to prove. I’m just here to support OP.

My child was also in Mensa and got rejected for AAP. Stellar test scores, GBRS etc. Didn’t get in until grade 4 (for grade 5.) Don’t bother with lawyers. There are lots of people in your situation. Just keep trying.

Write a letter explaining why your child’s needs can’t be met in the regular classroom. AAP is for children whose educational needs cannot be met in the regular classroom.

If he is disruptive, that could be helpful in showing that the regular classroom just doesn’t work for him.

If that's may kid and they are anything other than a neurotypical white male, I'm cc'ing my appeal to regional superintended colored as a discrimination claim to get the ball rolling.

He asked for harder math and science worksheets which school was not able to provide, and he ended up self taught multiplication and division, and learned negative addition and subtraction…

I’m very surprised as his test scores are in the 99 percentile, with NNAT at 160 and CogAT at 144.

Check out the other thread by someone asking this same question.

Arguably, that's failure to give FAPE, no? I'd seek lawyer if they don't take him.
