[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What percentile is she in for math on standardized tests? What metric are you using for deciding she is below average in math?[/quote]
Standardized testing. She always toes the line of being on grade level. Teachers always just suspect she’s rushing and/or not taking testing seriously and that she’s not alone in that.

The problem is our school system doesn’t do “grades” until middle school. All we get throughout the year are updates as to if she is “on target”, “not on target”, or “target met”. She’s always “on target”. [/quote]

Grade level is where a student is expected to be. If you want her more advanced than that, then you can do something outside of school, but no school is going to start interventions based on kid being on grade level [/quote]
This is the feeling I get from the school. She’s within the parameters so it’s fine. We’ve always gotten her tutors and done any after school programs that are offered. She does come home occasionally and say she’s finally grasped X concept, but it doesn’t come easy for her. [/quote]
