This past year has been really tough for my DD, with lots of meltdowns at school and being put on a behavior plan. She is in a gifted cluster program, and has struggled even though the work is not very academically difficult (IMO).
There have been a lot of changes in this program this past year, and they are changing the composition of the gifted program. As part of this, they agreed to stratify the kids by their verbal CogAT scores into classrooms next year. Some parents apparently objected to using year-old scores for this, so their teacher administered the verbal section (only) to the class (with a one-day notice to opt out).
My daughter's score (which I didn't get in any official report, but mentioned in passing in the notes on her report card) dropped by 15 points, which seems like quite a lot for a test like this. Should I try to follow up on this result, or just wait and see where they place her next year and go from there?
