[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What if a kid is 95th percentile or higher but not identified as GT? Can they still potentially receive enrichment at their home school?[/quote]

Yes.  Via the Benchmark advance enrichment curriculum which all schools are supposed to get/have access to or via compact math (4/5 grade) and ELC curriculum that is being rolled out to schools.  Some schools already have it.[/quote]

What is the criteria for ELC eligibility?[/quote]

I think it's an A in ELA and hitting the threshold on MAP-R, which depends on the socioeconomic status of your school. Ranges from a minimum of 80th percentile on MAP-R to 95th percentile if you're in one of the schools in the wealthier parts of the county. [/quote]

I’m pretty sure it’s 50th percentile at the low SES school that I work at. And it’s a small class.  I think those of you who live/work in high SES schools are really unclear of the discrepancy. For example, my class took the Map-R test this week and the class average was under 50th percentile. On Map-M, 40% of my class falls below the 25th percentile and 80% under the 50th percentile. This is 5th grade. The curriculum does not help as it does not focus on the basics needed for these students.[/quote]

Since it only takes 60th or 70th percentile to be "gifted" and eligible for the MS magnets at some schools it's not surprising that enrichment would be offered at 50th percentile. I hope they can do more enrichment at these schools to help get these kids up to where they can be.[/quote]
