[quote=Anonymous]In K they are placed pretty randomly, though there may be an inclusion classroom for kids who are receiving additional services. They don't have the data to screen them for ability at this point, and even if they did ability at age 5 doesn't necessarily correlate with intelligence or test results anyway (e.g both my kids tested high on the NNAT but were behind many kids on reading). Or a kid who has clicked for reading might struggle with math (or vice versa) so which class would they fit into? A kid who comes in to kindergarten with little preschool experience might take off in huge leaps and surpass kids who seemed more advanced because they had more exposure to reading previously. Within the classroom, they will be assigned to reading and math groups based on ability once the teacher has had time to observe them a bit. [/quote]
