Kind of surprising.

I'd be a bit worried about keeping up.

It's not rocket science. I think most kids of average intelligence would do fine in an AAP classroom.

I'm also not sure about relevance of zip codes (besides the fact that only close zips to 22031 found out before the weekend, but this is where they mail the letters from). Fairfax/Burke/Annandale area.

You can also ask for a retest for either the NNAT or the CogAT. That is if you want to go through the process again. I've read around that most appeals get approved.

I am pretty sure that a student can only retake a test once every year. So for a second grader, you can't appeal with a new cogat. Fcps will test your child again if you request it but next year, not for this year's appeal. So fcps will test with either cogat or nnat but next year.

That is correct. I should have emphasized "if you want to go through this again NEXT YEAR"

Will you appeal?

I wasn't planning to, but this thread is making me wonder. My kid is happy at the current school so I'm tempted to leave it alone although I'm curious about the rationale. My child isn't in ESOL but we are a bilingual household and that was on the forms, too.

If you think that your child needs advanced studies, then you should. This is not a gt program, but an advanced one. You can always get out. Per ESOL, if when you enrolled your child in school you mentioned that he/she was in a bilingual or foreign language household, then it will permanently be in his/her record forever. Based on that the child will be assessed for ESOL services, and does not have to receive them. I don't know how the foreign language factors in though.

Thanks for the info. I'm wondering if I need to bother with a WISC to appeal? I guess DH and I have a lot to discuss later tonight; this is very different from school where he grew up!

They say that you need to appeal with additional information. I don't have experience with the appeal, but from what I've read around the WISC is the way to go. It seems you need to do some research on who administers it.

I would appeal and see what happens so you have no "what ifs." If your DC is found eligible on appeal, you get to decide what to do for next year and all the other years through 8th. If you don't appeal this year, you have to redo the entire process.

Surprised because the scores were slightly better than my daughter's scores 2 years ago, and she go in. Wondering if I should take WISC and appeal...

I would.
