Bellevue's PRISM program requires a 99.7% on CogAt. Most school districts have an appeal process (including Seattle) where IQ scores and such can be used.
Also, there are numerous gifted private schools (which are easier to get into than some of the public programs as they use lower cutoffs). Pricey, though.
We're not sure if we're going this route yet, but thank you very much for the further info. I have such mixed feelings about dd11. Part of my hesistancy in placing her in a program like Spectrum or a private school (other than cost there) that has lower cuts for GT placement is that she really isn't low level gifted. She has a definite HG+ side to her and programs like what she's in right now that are full of high achievers and kids who are probably btwn 1-2 SDs above the mean aren't full of peers for her.
Due to the 2e stuff and personality, she isn't like her sister and doesn't need massive amounts of academic acceleration but she does need peers and the ability to learn in a manner that honors her extreme strengths in abstract reasoning, out of box thinking, etc. Programs that are geared toward 87th percentile kids who are achieving highly enough to do one grade up work or private schools that take 120s type of IQ scores aren't really geared toward dd11 anymore than a std non-GT classroom.
