[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Just so the more average parents can see themselves reflected here[/b], DC got their results last week and scored in the 79th percentile.  [b]Their middle school has an appeals process which we may use. [/b] DC is a terrible standardized test taker, something I need to work on.  [b]Their math grades is a 97% average in honors math 6[/b] (our pyramid has MS in 6th grade).  [b]We did not prep for the Iowa.  Their math teacher indicated DC is ready for the challenge of algebra.  I agree.[/b] Older DC took Iowa during quarantine and since Algebra would have been virtual, we opted them out for another year of prep.  Right decision for them.  They want to pursue a STEM career, it won’t stand in their way of success taking algebra as an 8th grader. We’re only considering appealing for younger DC because this is something DC wants.  Otherwise I would be fine with Algebra in 8th grade for them as well.  [/quote]

Not trying to be mean, but I couldn't help but find this funny.[/quote

I don't think it is unreasonable.  A teacher would have a pretty good idea of who are the better students able to handle which classes.
I can easily someone who scores 79 on IAAT able to handle algebra.  The 97% in honors math is pretty significant, if the class is a tough one.[/quote]
