Strange.. I would certainly appeal. Both scores are "in pool", pretty decent GBRS. This thread has significantly questionable packets with "IN" result. I would definitely appeal.

COGAT 140
GBRS who knows, but should have been good, as both his teacher and the AART strongly recommended parent referral (this was before the COGAT came out).

I would appeal, what is that percentile for the cogat? How can that not be high enough?

Do you know your GBRS. Those are so close to my child's score. Sorry PP. I might be in the same boat. Will you appeal?

Not sure about GBRS..Yes, we might appeal. Getting the wisc scheduled.

I wonder if the numbers were reversed if the kid would have been admitted: NNAT at 110 and CogAT at 133.

We have almost the reverse - NNAT at 111 and CogAT of 139 and were accepted.

Conversely, I know a very smart girl who tested into the pool, and was denied. Meanwhile her special needs older brother who was nowhere near in the pool was accepted on the strength of a strong GBRS and who knows what else.

Parents appealed the daughter's case, to no avail...so it's all a crapshoot...

How do you know their diagnoses as a casual observer?

There are some odd kids in my children's classroom, but it is not a large percentage. For the most part they are just regular kids with varied interests.

Do you think I should file appeal?

No.

I think you shoukd wait, give your kid time to mature, and if the child shows a big jump in ability next year then request a retest in fourth grade. If the scores go up significantly, tyen refer again for fifth grade or middle school admittance.

Don't listen to this. Why not file an appeal? I would want to know I did everything I could to try.

I have two kids who have gone through AAP. One a shoo in and the type of kid AAP was designed for. The other with scores very similar to OPs kid. The two extra years at the top of the base school and also of getting very small group AAP pull outs and advanced math did wonders for DC2s confidence, overall academic skills and knowledge. The retest jumped over ten points to 99%, and I attribute this to the newfound confidence eliminating the anxiety DC used to have about testing.

AAP is not the end all be all for all kids, and there is so much that is beneficial for many kids to be at the top academically during their formative years vs always being in a race to catch up.

I am a huge advocate for AAP but do not feel it is always the best place for every reasonably smart kid at the exact same timeline as everyone else.
