Did you submit parent referral form and samples?



Yes! I already emailed our AART teacher to see what his packet looks like because I didn't see any red flags per say!

You’ll probably be flamed for this PP because that’s not an exceptional CogAt.
But don’t listen to anyone. We did a WISC for DC who had a 114 and DC got in. This was at a local level IV four years ago.

I had another friend whose DC was principal placed into the class for three years in a row. They re-applied to county all three years and finally got in officially on the fourth year just in time for middle school.

I know people hate this, but it’s worth applying for the peer grouping benefits, so keep at it. I didn’t find that the curriculum itself was all that innovative. But what kids can learn and accomplish alongside motivated students whose teacher has high expectations for the entire class is a noticeable difference. There is a whole body of research on this.

So I really think what really matters is the CogAt and 2nd grade teacher recommendations..I have a feeling appeals are very hard to get unless you personally know someone.

Not in, 132 NNAT and COGAT, poor HOPE which I just don't understand. Teacher has always said my child is kind, eager to learn. Child is also getting Level II. I suspect the HOPE was poor because child is shy and quiet.

Didn't get in. Test grades are very improtant but I do think the 2nd grade teachers have a huge say in the process. Last year, my son's teacher gave him a wonderful recommendation to the AAP teacher. I thought it would be an easy acceptance. However, this year's teacher saw him very differently and much more average despite his scores. I took my son to a psychologist and she game him an extremely high score for the WiSCV and I could tell she really thought highly of him..So there is a lot of sibjectiveness to whether someone is considered gifted when on the cusp with scores. Anyway, will.try next year.

WTF? What school? My child's scores were higher than that and was rejected. Are you at a low SES school?

What?!


I feel like this has to be an error. What would justify keeping out cogat of over 136 honestly? And especially being that you are an AAP teacher yourself. Not right.


Boy or girl? I am curious.
If a boy, is he very energetic?

My two trouble-makers, both strong test-takers but not other worldly, both got into AAP on first round.
