Thanks so much for your kind support! Nope, can't appeal it, nothing to do... Their program is better than our regular school program, which has 35 kids in a class. In the regular classroom with 35 kids for fourth grade, you would have some kids reading above grade level and others reading still at a first-second grade level, so... All kids who get a 96th percentile or above on a list of accepted tests are in the lottery, and there are only spots for about half.
