My 8 year old was denied because of his handwriting not being neat enough even though he qualified by IQ scores and achievement scores. We ended up switching schools and it was a hard process for the whole family. We have survived, but it will be a while before my son "thrives". Looking back, we are glad that we changed.
Can you try to switch both kids to the same new schools? They can still be together and receive the gifted programming. Also, ask your Davidson Consultant what you can do about this situation.
