For us "pullout" IS the GT class....no one gets in under 130 (full scale), and there are no higher levels for HG+. I would love a full time self-contained option!

Parent, I would definitely pursue the entrance criteria, along with a more in-depth look at your son's qualifications, etc. They at least owe you that.

Has anyone faced the same situation and applied for an appeal? I want to know how I should contact Central GT Team, Is there any particular person to meet? Should I have to take GMU test?
Will I get a proper answer from the central team? Please discuss your experience.

I didn't know what GMU was, and after googling, landed here....does this fit? It claims the cutoff is typically in the 130's.

There are a lot of good Q&A's at that link.

Dear parent, to my knowledge a score above 138 in the NNAT automatically qualifies a child into the GT curriculum. I very strongly feel that you should approach the concerned officials and get an explanation as to why your son was denied GT. Ask them what is the rubric with which they measure the Gifted Potential in a child ? Do press for a proper reasoning for the denial.

As our friend Dottie has said, with such good scores of 138 and 128, your child is a very strong cnadidate for the GT curriculum.
