We appealed last year (2nd grade) but were unsuccessful. There is no reason given as to why; you just get another letter saying that your child is ineligible. As I recall, the appeal was due in early May and the decision came out mid-June.

It's as involved as you want to make it. You basically have the opportunity to submit information they don't already have. Most people send in new test scores (like WISC), but you can also appeal with just additional work samples, letters of recommendations, etc. What they don't want is you sending in duplicative information. It needs to be new information of some kind.

I bet some parents who really want their kid in compacted math can talk to their principal who can ultimately pupil place since the school is a local level IV. Even if they don’t test in.

You have to test in to that. They will test your child at the beginning of the school year and then send a letter.

If your child does not get in and you don’t appeal, can you at least get compacted math at the base? To clarify, our base is a local level IV.

No need to worry about that. The graduate students are very good, and closely supervised by a PhD.

I would think the other way around. They're not too experienced and therefore not too high standard to take and interpret certain verbal answers

The appeal packet is in the spring. And then the decision is during summer (August).
