Our district looks at the last two or three MAP test scores and one CogAT test score taken in the fall of 2nd grade to determine if a student can get into the gifted program or not in 3rd grade.

My DYS DS7 is in first grade and I have asked the school to put him into the gifted program (math only for now) in 2nd grade, taking challenged math with the 3rd graders. So far, no luck. The district still would like to see his fall MAP and CogAT test scores to determine what to do with him despite the fact that I provided them with his WISC-V full report and his MAP test score of 99% in the winter of 1st grade.

It appears that our district only looks at the MAP test scores and the CogAT scores. Teacher recommendation isn't considered and even the private IQ test scores may not weigh in too much.
