[b]I would have thought that the Principal would have placed your child in the Level IV class at the beginning of the year given your child's involvement in Level III and Advanced Math.[/b][/quote]

you just described half the advanced math class in our ES and they don't all get placed (in fact the majority don't) [/quote]

DP. It's not weird for a LIII and advanced math kid not to be placed in the LIV classroom.  It is weird for a principal to have drastically unbalanced classes, with only 17 kids in the AAP classroom and 29 kids in the gen ed classrooms when there are LIII + advanced class kids available for principal placement.  Cramming 29 kids into a gen ed classroom means that the gen ed kids will likely not have their needs met.  Having tiny AAP classes makes it look like those kids are getting highly preferential treatment.

If this school has 3 gen ed classrooms and 1 AAP one, principal placing the 9 brightest LIII kids into the AAP class would at least lead to 26 kids in each classroom.  [/quote]
