[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it your understanding that 5th graders in advanced math do not take the 5th grade SOL, but instead take the 6th grade SOL?  [/quote]

Yes

I have heard that the reason our school's 5th grade math SOL scores are so low is b/c the top third of the class (roughly) takes advanced math so they skipped the 5th grade SOL and their scores were in the results for 6th grade SOLs.[/quote]

Sounds logical, if there were indeed that many advanced math students.

What I don't understand is:  if this is the case all over FCPS and the state of Va., then why are the county and state pass rates for 5th grade math  higher?  Do most of the schools in the county offer advanced math to 5th graders (who then take the 6th grade SOL)?  Or is it somewhat unusual for non-AAP schools to have 1/3 of their students taking advanced math?[/quote]

Good question. I do not think FCPS schools break out the numbers for how many students took out-of-grade SOLs. I doubt that every FCPS ES has 1/3 of their 5th graders in advanced math, though.
