[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teacher tell me that my kid is expected get math enrichment starting at 4th grade because she is really great at math. I thought it is something lottery based, and they say it is not true because we have local programs unless we want to go to apply for different ES. Our school is one of the few schools that have local programs for CES. Because we have local CES program, so lottery & cutoff for math and literacy enrichment does not apply to us? She is currently above reading level. [/quote]

Compacted Math 4/5 is based solely on the student't achievement in Math and is at every school.

CES lottery is based on Reading MAP and grades.  Having a local CES does not guarantee you a spot, even in a low FARMS school.  There are 13 kids at our school who did not make the lottery but are in the Enriched Literacy Curriculum.

I think the teacher is trying to say that your child will likely qualify for enrichment whether or not they get a lottery CES spot.

As a parent with a kid who is on the CES waiting list, CES at our school would be preferred to the in-school enrichment.  [b]CES is one seamless program with one teacher.  [/b]My kid has a general ed. homeroom where they do Science and Social Studies, they go to the ELC with a different teacher, and they go to Compacted Math with one of the CES teachers. They do specials with their homeroom as well. It is a lot to keep up with and much more like middle school than I would expect in 4th grade.[/quote]

Not necessarily. Sometimes CES teachers are departmentalized too.[/quote]
