[quote=Anonymous]I think it's highly unlikely they grouped a whole class by ability. County policy is that the classes should be heterogenous. However, principals so have some leeway and as some PPs have said schools do sometimes put clusters of similar kids together. If as you said you've never seen a lot of the kids before it's possible this group moved together every year and they rotate the rest of the class. If there are 5 classes total in all probability your son may only see these kids one year or two years throughout his elementary career. In our DD's grade there is a small group of high ability kids who have been together for at least 3 years. That doesn't mean there aren't smart kids in the other classes or that these kids are smarter than the others. I think these kids tend to work well together and they get pull outs together so it makes sense that the school would want to keep them together.[/quote]
