[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ask the teacher....this happened to us, DS got 90s on most and then 45th percentile on one.  I emailed the teacher, she had NO concerns and so we chalked it up to just a bad day and ignored the results.[/quote]

OP here - asked the teacher who said everything was fine as she has said all year (despite the fact that he completes only 60% of his in-class work). I also asked our school's G&T Coordinator who also said "it's just a test, if you have concerns ask the teacher."  That is all fine and good and generally, I really like our school but I know they have missed diagnosing dyslexia with several kids whose parents felt that reading just wasn't clicking the way it's supposed to.  Teachers all chalked it up to "children all learning at different paces, etc." so I don't trust their ability to identify potential learning disabilities in kids that are bright and can sometimes fake their way through things when they have trouble.  Know what I mean?[/quote]

Yes!! Even after we did private testing for our child, who was diagnosed with ADHD inattentive type, the teachers were still saying that the child does great and maybe does not need the accommodations in the 504 plan because all looks fine.  (And yet, maybe compacted math isn't the best option because math problems are not solved quickly)  The teachers don't know what the child's potential is.  They're working hard and doing fine compared to other kids in the class.  That does not mean that they are meeting their own potential.   [/quote]
