[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question... My DD received a 90%. She is level IV but we chose to have her to her base school program and not go to the center because she is a twin. I have 4 kids and she is the youngest. All the others have not done Algebra until 8th grade and did great. All have gotten A's in math easily and that has been a fine path for them. This 6th grader though loves math and has been fairly bored this year. Their school has not done a great job with the AAP group since going virtual last March. I'm trying to decide options. If I should just let it go and have her continue to be bored in math but get easy A's or try and get her placed in Algebra next year and be challenged. If I want to appeal the Algebra decision what do I need to do? The elementary school has said they have no input and I need to figure it out with her4 MS next year. Advice?[/quote]

Right now, you don't do anything.  Your DD still needs to take the 7th grade math SOL.  If she earns a very high score, then talk to your DD's math teacher to see if she recommends Algebra next year.  If so, then talk to the middle school.  If your DD doesn't earn a high score on the SOL, then you do nothing and place her in M7H.

Generally speaking, the IAAT is a pretty low bar, and kids who pass the 91% benchmark, but score below 95th percentile probably shouldn't be taking Algebra.  If the test was a bad day for your DD, and she gets a perfect or nearly perfect score on the SOL, then it might be reasonable to try to push her into Algebra.  [/quote] is goo

This is good advice as I have heard that exceptions are VERY rare and on a school by school basis. [/quote]
