[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry if i missed it, but how old is the kid? It's common for younger kids to sprint a bit but then slow down and even out with other bright peers. Also, being ahead is less relevant at younger grades because the skills being measured are simple. Lots of AAP 3rd graders can read 8th grade books in the sense that they factually comprehend, but they cannot do the analysis that an 8th grader can. Those kids can be adequately supported in AAP or a good private. If your 5th grader is doing HS level analysis, that's a different ballgame. [/quote] This plus the fact that the grade level standards are not that high to begin with so it's not terribly difficult for a child to be a few grade levels ahead in a subject in the younger years. You mentioned you are in Alexandria and your best bet is Lyles Crouch and even then it wont be that amazing. A lot of Alexandria parents pick private school. [/quote]
