[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Advanced math is determined in the first month of the new school year. All Level IV kids automatically get advanced math.

Other Kids are given assessment tests to see how they fare on end of year skills (so at start of third, they want to see how you'd do on what they expect kids to know by end of third grade). The local principal looks at those scores, plus prior year math grades, COGAT quant score and Iready math scores and comes up with a decision that doesn't have a firm cutoff nor is it publicized. Those kids join Level IV kids in advanced math.

In our school, this resulted in 3 out of 85 non-level IV kids being moved into advanced math. [b]In other words, the bar is very high.[/b]

This isn't necessarily true for every school.  If a given year's Advanced Math class is small, the principal may want more students to fill it out and apply a more liberal standard.

FYI, the FCPS website links to an application form (see below) but it's not clear that all schools require it. Many kids are placed automatically based on the criteria PP mentioned above. Double check with your AART to verify the exact process.
