[quote=Anonymous]We are in the midwest in a good but not great school district. Students are allowed to take algebra in 7th if they have an A in advanced math, if they score in the 95th percentile or higher on the state test, and if they score in the 95th percentile or higher on the IAAT (Iowa test). My daughter was invited to take the Iowa test after she met the first two prongs of eligibility. She had the flu the day she was tested, called to come home immediately after the test (I did not realize in the morning she was sick, because she goes off on the bus before I get up). She ended up scoring in the 93rd percentile. I want her to just take regular 7th grade advanced math. Her teacher gave the kids a chance to say if they were not feeling well, and she did not speak up. She is ADHD, is super shy and doesn't have the best executive function or work habit skills. DH and she want to fight to get into algebra. She has a knack for math but is not a math genius, is not in the "gifted" program, and does not independently work on math (but she does do Math Counts club). DH has a very strong math background (including post-BC calc) and said he would help her. What do you all think? [/quote]
