Do you think the strong FRI:140 could get in on appeal??
FWIW, we also had a very strong FRI but lower VCI. FSIQ was 128 and we were rejected. Its posisble, but don’t get your hopes up too high. Good luck!
Our GBRS was 3 F and 1 C. Still can’t believe rejected with a 128.

Because some people in the pool could be struggling school already without an accelerated curriculum. Because it isn’t necessarily a good fit just because of a high test score.
I agree that AAP as it is might not be a good fit for those kids. That being said, one of the main points of mandating gifted education is to reach the kids who are gifted but grossly underachieving in school. Gifted and high achieving kids who are very successful in 2nd grade will likely bloom wherever they're planted. Gifted kids who are not successful students in 2nd grade need gifted programming. FCPS has its priorities backward.
That doesn't change OP's WISC.
Also, my DC wasn't successful in 2nd grade and was admitted to AAP where he bloomed. IME, FCPS has its priorities right. It's gifted program works well for us.
