[quote=Anonymous]We are new to RSM. I searched here and read some old threads about how kids went from Honors to going above grade level for RSM class. And then there is a competition level class above that, starting in 4th grade? Can anyone speak to what the three levels plus competition level equate to in a regular math curriculum?

RSM principal said there are three levels - accelerated, advanced, honors. DD placed into 2nd grade Honors, which the principal says “never happens.” I am assuming this is just a sales tactic but I am still curious about the levels. RSM principal simply said they have their own special curriculum which cannot be compared to Common Core.

Would “Advanced” simply be in line with an excellent public school, whereas “Accelerated” is for kids who need help getting up to grade level? Public school teacher told me DD is doing 3rd and 4th grade level math concepts on the iPad apps, but they don’t teach them in school and they don’t do gifted programming until 4th. In this case, should I ask about placing DD in RSM’s 3rd grade accelerated for next semester? She is testing in the 99 percentile on state and national tests. [/quote]
