[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, but it is a tighter spigot for who gets in. You should get a letter about it -- for us it came a couple of weeks after the end of school. You could also ask your kid's current teacher.[/quote]

That's odd. It seems like everyone in our school is in the advanced classes.[/quote]

The rules changed last year. DD was in 4/5 but didn't make the cut for 5/6. They had 25 kids in 4/5 and only three of them qualified for 5/6.  I might have been annoyed because DD has an IEP and her teachers said she could handle the material and get good grades, but the only measurement tool was something DD had not done well on. It was brought up at her meeting and admin confirmed that they could not take teacher recommendations anymore.[/quote]

The first couple years they instituted compacted math it was hard to be selected. My daughter missed the assessment by 1 point, and they wouldn't let her in. When she started MS, they let her (and a bunch of other kids) skip math 6 based on MAP scores. If you think it is appropriate for your kid, there will be more opportunities to advance them.[/quote]
