Rejected.
Really upset. The school is too EASY for her and son is bored.

Any advice on the appeal?
I heard about getting tested at Geroge Mason.
Looking for any guidance.



I'm sorry, I was in your shoes a few years ago. We appealed and were rejected again (ouch). I asked for level 3 services during 3rd grade, which in our school were once weekly pull-outs with the AART. Applied again for 4th using work samples from those AART lessons. Combined with a MUCH higher GBRS (DC did not gel with 2nd grade teacher but adored 3rd) and DC was accepted for 4th.

This could be a route you consider. From what others have posted, not much weight is given to WISC and related any longer.

Has a lot to do with the teacher

Parent referred. Not in pool. I was concerned about NNAT. DC was sick and had never taken a test before. DC is strong in math. Past teacher said one of the strongest that the teacher had ever taught.

I’m the PP upthread whose kid got in after an AART referral after being principal placed for 2 years. I’m unfortunately not very involved at all except for volunteering a little earlier on in ES before Covid. I’ve just heard the term principal placed bc my level III kid has been in the AAP classroom but maybe it had more with her being level III than principal placed? I will say my kid who is in AAP in MS says that her core classes (which are AAP) seem the same as the Honors core classes.

The principal only knows my kid because once he got in a fight a recess. He got an office level consequence and still got in. Maybe principal placement if you attend a center? My neighbor suggested that when we had just moved in from overseas. I just applied for immediate placement and that worked out for us.


Principal selected is term used for students that didn't "get in" to Level 4, but the principal placed them in the local level 4 class anyway. So at the very least you can discuss that option with your principal while waiting for the appeal process.
