[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The main differentiator is advanced math. Hopefully your school starts it in 3rd, and your kid’s math grades and interest in math are high and they are accepted.

If your school doesn’t start advanced math until 5th, now is the time to start working with the kid on math so hopefully they can qualify in 5th. I suspect that there are more “hard qualifiers” and objective criteria in 5th grade advanced math schools. Probably pass advanced on the 3rd and 4th grade math SOL’s + high math grades and 90th%+ IReady. 3rd grade advanced math seems a little fuzzier without the SOL’s to fall back on.

I have a kid in advanced math (3rd grade) in a LLIV school and, honestly, with Benchmark as the new LA curriculum, I’m not sure what the difference is anymore in anything other than math. Of course, you’d probably have more of a difference at a center. But my kid only qualified for advanced math and it’s been fine. He is already in advanced math for 4th grade, got pass advanced on his 3rd grade math SOL, I Ready has been 95th%+ for math in all of 2nd and 3rd grades. [/quote]

My kid got into advanced math in 5th. No aap, and is currently a 7th grader at a non aap school taking algebra honers. Everyone is overthinking this. My child did not get 90 percentile or above in the iReady in 3rd or 4th, and did not get pass advanced on the 4th grade sol. (she got 472) There is a test that the 5th grade team gives out to the students on performance matters. If you get a specific percentage, you get in. We didn’t know any of this… our child just took it and we got a letter saying she got into advanced math. Now, probably different for other ES, but this is what happened with us, so don’t start stressing because the test is quite easy (according to my kid in 5th)[/quote]
