The comments seem to be reasonable, but not sure if anyone reads them.

Looking at options of appeal with no WISC or WISC

May be the GBRS comments were poorly written?? I mean not citing any specific examples?

WISC if you can afford it. Parent referral form if you haven't already done it. More detailed letter addressing why your child needs AAP if you haven't already submitted your 5 additional pages. Also letters of recommendation from those who can speak to your child's strengths (again if you haven't already submitted 5 pages). Ignore the naysayers.

Agree with PP. I think a strong WISC would help on appeal. Those are good test scores in all areas, should do well on the WISC

Just FYI: The comments are always good. GBRS cannot include anything negative whatsoever. So focus on perhaps what the teacher didn't say, to determine areas you may want to bolster.

GBRS is 8! But the comments are good from her teacher.

Thanks for all the responses. I called school to get the package to find out what was submitted. I'm pretty sure she set the school on fire, she has all 4s in that subject, but I'm puzzled what other factors could be?

maybe he/she tried to set the school on fire or something like that. A lot of factors go into these decisions you know.

Definitely contact AART for a copy of your child's packet. Then you can see what areas were weaker and that is where you would need to provide more documentation of needed AAP services.

Agree- you need to see what the GBRS is and the comments to understand what was submitted by the school. I don't know if you can submit any other materials this year given it's the WISC (you can call the aap office at fcps- not your local school).. you could let the school know that you want your child to take the cogat again next year (they need advanced notice) since that is 3 sections and gives you a greater chance of scoring above the cut off criteria)..

First of all, is your child currently in 2nd grade? (makes a difference in what may help) What were your child's other scores? GBRS?
