Check and see if there is a g/t coordinator, or some sort of curriculum specialist who makes these decisions. If you just want to find out info for your own benefit and to use for advocacy, and don't need certain scores that meet eligibility criteria, it doesn't matter as much.
I think the program is fairly relaxed in terms of standards. I know there's some testing, then stuff about achievement in class (she is doing well in class), and a parent evaluation. Honestly--based on experiences I've heard from other parents in our school system and then neighboring one--I think people who ask to get their kids into it, and have the vocabulary to advocate, generally get their kids into it (I don't think that's necessarily right but seems to be how it works here). But my inner objective person really wants to base my recommendation on facts. I like information and do really badly trying to have persuasive conversations without it.
