[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What exactly is a “definite” honors class? Jefferson definitely does have advanced math for students who perform above grade level. And for the rest of the core classes, Jefferson seems to do a good job of placing kids at similar levels in the same cohort.

- Signed a current Jefferson parent who “took a chance” with the school and am extremely happy that I did.

I am curious how Jefferson places students of similar "levels" in the same cohort?

There are so many ways this could be done, and Jefferson had best be transparent about it.

Do they?

--give a placement test in ELA and Math ahead of 6th grade sorting into cohorts?
--Use PARCC scores from previous years to aid in leveling?
--Use teacher recommendations from Elementary school?
--Wait until school has been in session for a while and then sort according to performance on formative tests in the classroom?
--use a "gut instinct" on which kiddos are at the same level?
--use parent requests?
--another method I haven't thought of?
