[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know the answer to the OP's question, but re the first response to it, we have a Wilson student who will be taking 3 AP exams. If any of my child's PARCC tests are scheduled at the same time as his AP review sessions, I (and hundreds of other parents) will be LIVID, and we will find a way for the AP review session to take priority.

Wilson and DCPS got their free mess-up last year; if they do it again this year, people will raise hell. Frankly, I'm exhausted by DCPS's efforts to sabotage anything in the system that threatens to resemble success. Wilson's AP classes are just one example.

And no, we have never asked for special exemptions for our kids for anything before, and my kid took the PARCC last year and did quite well.[/quote]

Your child should not have to take ANY PARCC tests. OSSE only requires them once for high school - in 10th grade for ELA and the year they take Geometry. If your child took both last year, you should be good to go, according to OSSE. Press DCPS and Martin on this now. It's a waste of time and frankly makes the skews the results if DCPS kids are taking them over and over.

FWIW the charter high schools are only giving each PARCC test once. [/quote]
