Can you share the percentile? We aren't in your pyramid and haven't received the result yet. |

Teacher here. Most do not. If it was not a timed test, then I would say many more kids would qualify. |

| Received it in the mail today. Westfield pyramid - 98 percentile. They did not provide the raw score. |

Maaaybe, if your kid barely missed, but does really well on the SOL and has teacher support. |

It is middle school dependent. I have had students appeal with a 90 percent and pass adv and get in. I have also had students appeal with a 97 IOWA and a 496 SOL. |

I am curious why parents seem to think that Algebra in 7th grade is so damn important. If they didn't meet the bar on the IAAT then let them take 7th Honors and make sure they have a solid foundation. Algebra in 8th grade is still accelerated.
I just don't get the rush. |

How do you appeal? when? to whom? |

I felt that way too with my oldest. He had "only" 91st percentile on the IAAT (no prep whatsoever) and a 550 on his Math 7 SOL. But we let him try Algebra in 7th. He ended up with a phenomenal teacher (I mean, I almost wanted to take Algebra again!) and high 90s in the class. Geometry he struggled a bit more but now in Algebra 2 in 9th grade, he has another fabulous teacher and has a 97% in the class. He works but I wouldn't say it's a stress for him at all. So, totally made the right decision. 2nd kid is lazy -- he's never really had to study though so hoping he figures out that he will have to work in 7th grade if he takes Algebra! He was 95th percentile (with a little prep because it was a timed test and he has ADHD we wanted him to know what the timing felt like). Anyway -- long way to say - it wasn't a rush for our 1st, he was just ready to do more advanced work. And we think our 2nd will be able to rise to the challenge as well. |

I think you appeal to the MS. Check with your school on how. It's probably not until June anyway, since you need the SOL results too. |

No. And even if you could, it would be a horrible idea. --middle school math teacher |
