[quote=Anonymous]DD is in her second week of third grade, and for the third year in a row her iReady scores fell between three and five years above grade level - 570s in Math and 680s in Reading. The iReady chart puts both scores in the sixth-grade range since it is the highest classification for third graders, but if you move down the chart both scores fall into eighth-grade ranges. (She does competition math once a week, which is why she knows higher math.) It's not just that she is a good test-taker; the scores are consistent with her writing and the books and other materials (mainly history and science magazines) she reads outside of class.

With the exception of one teacher who was willing to hand out extra math worksheets, the school -- and to my understanding, DCPS in general -- does not like to differentiate among the materials distributed to students. And obviously they don't have AAP. Given all of that, would I be out of line to ask whether it makes sense to move her up a grade / have her attend certain subjects with fourth graders? Has anyone had experience with that in DCPS? I think it's important to note (and maybe this is the only thing that matters!) that when it comes to maturity and executive functioning, she is 100% a third grader.
