There is no proposal to eliminate centers. Stop fearmongering.

My freshman at TJ scored a 109 on the NNAT. She also scored a 138 on the CogAT.

The scores seem really solid to me.
"New information" is information the screening committee hasn't seen yet. It doesn't matter that the parents had the WISC scores in hand 5-6 months earlier.

That's what we did

That's the 99.93%. Pretty high for the general population. Sure, other kids in Fairfax are in the 99.9th% (certainly more than 1 in 1000), but pretty high.

Meh, so 1 in 100? Maybe 5 in 100 in Fairfax? One kid in each class in each grade will have an IQ around that number. Not remarkable.

Is this a real question, or did someone want to brag that their child got a 148?

I think results of appeals are sent after the open houses in the spring. I would submit the WISC scores with the initial referral.
