[quote=Anonymous]Did you try the PARCC yourself, OP, last year, when schools offered sample questions to parents? It's horribly user-UNfriendly, which makes it difficult for children if they have learning disabilities. My son with LDs consistently scores in the 99th percentile on his MAPs, because they're un-timed and in a format he feels comfortable with. On the PARCC, he's just in the average zone, which makes for a significant contrast. I would rely more on your child's MAP scores. If those are below average, then yes, take action. Hire an advocate, and request IEP meetings until you've got the services and accommodations you want. Or, consider moving into a different school district if you hear that children with SN are better cared for there. That's what we did - bought a tiny ramshackle house in an expensive school district that had a good reputation with special needs. [/quote]
