I would not reach out. And I would tell your kid to be sensitive about it. I told mine she got in because she actually asked (they must be talking about it) and told her not to bring it up again with other kids. She understood why. Her little brother has SN so we talk a lot in our house about ability and effort.

I will be appealing. I feel like it was her reading skills assessments. She has improved a lot and has had support from a private tutor. I will submit fresh reading scores and get privately tested. How to do that all by May 1 including spring break in there. Ugh.
Not trying to be mean. If you need a reading tutor, your child might not need to be in AAP. Advanced math should be sufficient.

But that high CoGAT is interesting to me. Did they guess and got some right? Again, trying not to be mean. You know your kid best. Do what your gut tells you to do!

I think the cutoff varies by school, though not sure if it is school or pyramid.

That's a very ableist viewpoint!
