[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your 5th grader was placed in pre-algebra for 6th, what was their Math Inventory score at the end of 4th?  Trying to get some sense how my rising 5th grader's score stacks up in the context of APS.  [/quote]

There are a million posts on this and barely anyone ever answers lol. Short answer is. They are getting rid of MI next year so those scores won't matter. But they don't just look at MI they look at SOLs and other scores abs classroom performance and class size and a million things apparently. And it will be different depending on which school you go to.

Anyway whenever we get our placement letter I will come back and tell you lol. Should be soon. [/quote]
Yeah, I've never seen anyone post a number for an 
EOY 4th grade score.  Just trying to get a sense.

The classroom performance stuff is crazy subjective.  My understanding is that some elementary schools liberally place kids in pre-algebra but others don't at all.  I've also been told that zero kids from our elementary were recommended for pre-algebra next year because our gifted teacher doesn't believe in math acceleration.  But I guess I'll worry about that next year.[/quote]
That doesn't make sense because it's not all done at the school level. My school's math coach told me it is in part determined by the math office based on scores and teacher feedback. She is a colleague and I don't think she would lie to me. [/quote]
