What's the iready percentile? iready has a very broad definition of "on grade level," and most AAP kids would still be considered "on grade level." If the kid has high aptitude for math, but they've only been taught grade level math, I wouldn't worry. The FCPS math curriculum spirals a lot. Each year, the kids are passing through a concept they learned the previous year, but then going into more depth. Kids enter and exit advanced math at all ES grade levels, and most are fine. Kids also frequently enter in 5th or 6th grade with no issues. If your kid doesn't love math or doesn't have a high aptitude, then I would be much more wary of the AAP acceleration. The other question is what is the SES of the school you're planning to transfer into? If it's a higher SES area, your kid would probably be fine in gen ed. If it's a lower SES area, your kid would likely be bored and ignored in gen ed. |
6 classes per grade??? What school is this big? |
Returning back to this, i-ready reading has been consistently high 90s, or above 99th percentile Math has heen a total crapshoot from below grade level, 80th to 90th percentile, to 94th percentile on the most recent winter iready. Unsure if COVID and virtual school may have set them back. So this is where I don't know what to do. Moving schools/locations is tough enough at this age, so want to place them right. |
Did you get your child's AAP package? The submitted iready only includes winter 2023 score, per you, it's 94% math and 99% reading. That's AAP admissible. Look at his package to see where is lacking. |
We haven't applied yet, we are moving to VA for the next school year. This is why I'm trying to get it right for my kid who will enter 5th. |
