NNAT 126
CoGAT 128
GBRS Unknown (I did not realize we can ask for the score from AART teacher)

DD did not get into the program and am now considering whether to take the WISC V. My eldest DS got into the program and DD is aware of it because of him. She is an avid reader and writer (her recommendation provided that she is reading at a 4th grade level) but she may not be as 'advanced' in the quantitative/math skills area.

Should I appeal and take the WISC V? What are the chances for her to get in with appeal and what WISC V score?

YOUR chances? ZERO. You are an adult.

"We"/"our"? No. This is whether your child will get in. Not you.

I'm sure OP is terribly disappointed that she has no chance of getting in You clearly have nothing useful to add, why even bother posting?

Exactly. Any line is arbitrary. There is a huge chunk of kids in AAP who would be fine in Gen Ed, and a huge chunk of Gen Ed who would be fine in AAP.

There has to be a line somewhere. Someone could also argue there is not much difference between a 97 percentile kid and a 96th percentile kid, etc....

Really hard to argue there's much of a difference between a 98 percentile kid and a 97th percentile kid. It all seems like splitting hairs in the end.

OP: Is your child in the advanced math class, or just in regular math? Regular math + mediocre FRI might raise concerns that your child couldn't handle the AAP math.

98 percent much more of a sure thing.

Which second grades have two different math classes?

Second graders at my school are separated into an advanced class which offers more extensions and even some 3rd grade material. First grade MRA results and second grade start-of-year testing determine the placements.

+1

This is an on the fence applicant. I'd be curious to know the result.

The only advanced material DC seems to see is through the independent online system. I'm not thrilled that this is the way they are differentiating and not entirely clear that she is fully understanding what she's doing.

The second grade at our school does not have two different classes and no pullouts

My son's school has pullouts for advanced math in second grade.

Fluid reasoning: 115
Working memory: 115

Just to be clear, my child had eh scores, not in pool and low working memory and processing. I don't recall GBRS but it was not as high as 14. She did get in. But her fluid reasoning was a 151.

2E students often have average (!) or below average (!!) fluid reasoning and/or working memory subtest scores. These students are found Center eligible (and are successful in AAP).
