[quote=Anonymous]High percentile kids are hard to gauge. I’ve read the math MAP, once they start scoring >260 isn’t reliable and doesn’t mean much. IMO that has been my experience. My child has scored above 260 since 4th grade and then randomly in 6th scored 250 something. Then in 7th jumped way up again. Reading was literally the same score for 3 years in a row. Went from 99% to low 80s. Then jumped back up to mid 90s in late middle school. I think it is a combo of they aren’t learning new material in school at all and the tests don’t have a very high ceiling. If you have an advanced learning, you need to be on top of it at home to give them challenges and new material. Schools cannot accommodate this. They are swamped just getting majority of kids to be AT grade level. It isn’t even a matter of keep your child “ahead” it is a matter of creating new pathways in the brain. To do this, the brain needs to work. [/quote]
