[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rather than the report card numbers you should look at the iReady data, Dibles score, reading level improvement, things like that. That is a more accurate measure of on grade/above grade.[/quote]

Ok, thanks. Looking at the report card, DC's Dibels score moved from "on grade level" to "above grade level" from beginning to middle of year. According to the I-Ready math data, DC has been above grade level since the beginning of the year. So I guess that tracks a bit more with what my DH is saying (his primary concern is math, because he feels the school math is really remedial and DC should be doing a lot more).

Thank you for explaining that![/quote]

Honestly, and I'm not trying to be your typical DCUM obnoxious poster here, but that she is "above grade level" is really, really common. In fact, that she was ever "on grade level" would be below the average at least at our school. All of it is to say, your kid sounds like a totally normal, typically developing bright kid. Do not move her because your DH thinks he knows better.[/quote]
