[quote=Anonymous]Since your child has not been exposed to common core, you are going to have trouble showing the need for acceleration.  My suggestion is to buy a 5th grade common core math workbook and have him go through it.  Then, once you have a neighborhood school you need to immediately ask that he be evaluated for compacted math prior to the school year starting.  That will have him complete 6th grade math at the end of 5th grade which is the best you can do.  As for picking a school, all schools offer the same curriculum, but the compacted class can be implemented differently.  In sone schools it is a separate class within the school, in others the kids have to go to the middle school to take the class, and still in others regular 5th grade teachers need to teach the class while Los teaching the grade level curriculum.  In my opinion, option 1 is best, so I would look for schools that teach it as a separate class. If you give a general area where you are looking, others can probably chime in with how compacted is being taught at the local schools.[/quote]
