[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, yes, you are correct. I understand that beginning this year, FCPS has changed the criteria for 5th graders taking up the IOWA test. Fifth graders that have had a 575+ in a previous Math SOL and 130+ (or is it 132..cant remember) will take up the Math reasoning test and if they get 85 percentile or above, then they get to sit for the IOWA. I believe 91% is the cutoff for IOWA.[/quote] Having a kid who got 600s on all math SOLs and scored in the upper 140s when the ceiling was 150, and also got a 98 on the Iowa to take algebra in 7th, an 85% seems like an awfully low threshhold to take algerbra in 6th grade, particularly if they only around the 90th percentile on the Iowa. It sounds like a recipe for crash and burn, or at the minimum a lot of stress and tears for those sixth graders.[/quote] I can see letting them take the Iowa if they score in the upper 90s on that math reasoning test, but 85 is a very low requirement.[/quote]
