[quote=Anonymous]We were in this situation. They will not care that you have done PK in DC. If your kid had already gone through K, they would honor the placement in 1st grade, but they will not honor going through PK (which is not a mandatory grade in MD) and put them in K automatically. The only way to get in is to try for early kindergarten. There is a test that is administered in the spring before your child wants to start K. To pass, the kid essentially needs to meet end of K standards in all of something like 7 categories, including both academic and social-emotional benchmarks. Mine didn’t and we were denied. We repeated PK privately, We were annoyed because my kid was already starting to read in PK, but you can’t just meet some of the standards—you have to hit them all. But honestly it is fine. Now that my kid is in 8th grade, I am happy they are in the older side. [/quote]
