All I can say to the parents who received rejection letters today is to keep your spirits high, and your child's spirit even higher. They are only 8 and 9 year olds and the world is their oyster at this point. This one decision from a county that keeps their decision parameters vague should not determine your child's long road ahead.

I'm heartbroken and honestly flabbergasted. He scored 232 on his 2nd grade MAP-P test - I was told it was the highest the school had seen for 2nd grade. His 3rd grade teachers told me he fit the definition of what they consider a truly gifted child.

Not sure if we will appeal or not.

Good luck to everyone else who is waiting on their decisions today.

What were his Inview scores. Just curious and if you don't feel like sharing that's fine.

Did they mention when the scores will be coming? Makes you wonder if they are delaying sending the scores to mitigate appeals.

No mention of date. I agree that it is to make appeals more difficult- especially since we know they are taking a more subjective approach to letting children in.
