My son with an IEP and preferential seating always had a great seat with that stupid classroom arrangement, and my highly functional daughter never had a good seat. Indeed, throughout elementary, she was placed next to the most troublesome boys to be a calming influence! Yours might be in a similar situation, so keep an eye on it.

In middle and high school, it gets better, OP! Make sure your DD takes all the advanced classes - compacted math in 4th and 5th, to start her off on the right math track, foreign language starting in 6th (take the full 1AB course, not just 1A) and the "advanced" (regular) versions of social studies and English. For math they place based on MAP scores, so make sure she's well-rested and prepared for her MAP-M tests. Lots of reading for MAP-R.

Thanks for this! Is there any other way to affect maths in 4th and 5th placement, or is it solely based on MAP-M? My daughter takes language instruction in husband's language already, should we still do full 1AB in 6th?[/quote]

Yes; raise a stink. Like call the counselor, the principal and the principal's boss (I forget the title) and the school board DAILY. Wear them down until they relent. You just have to be "pleasantly" persistent until they give in. Once they realize they are NEVER getting rid of you and are going to be talking to you for an hour every day until they give in, they will give in.

It the principal and/or counselor blow you off and try to not take your calls, why then you have an ACTIONABLE complaint with MCPS. Act on it.

A stink about what?   This is just instructions on how to be annoying but it isn’t clear why/for what purpose.   You think she should call the assoc superintendent over classroom seating??[/quote]
