Hi Inky,
I do have her report. There is a 25-point discrepancy between VCI and PRI. And so much variation in the PRI that it's not a unitary index.

Not trying to get her into the gifted program because, well, who wants to put their kid in a program where they're really, really not wanted?
Also the school loses funding if they take more than the allotted number of kids, and the notices have already gone out. I think they would have to bump someone in order to accept my daughter. And those kids deserve to be in there too.
AND I'm betting it's a battle I won't win, so I'll pick a lesser one.

Thanks for the links.... I am desperate for strategies.
