[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 5th grade aap son has a 3rd grade pushing into his math class.

That said - I would be surprised if it was something the parent had to ask about. I feel like that’s something the school identifies on their own.

That iready score is not particularly high as far as I can tell. I just pulled out a piece of paper that says 400-490 is on target. [/quote]

I'm looking at an Iready report for 1st grade and it says that the target window for Fall tests is 347-401 and the window for spring test is 402-496.  Are you looking at the Spring target window? [/quote]

I'm not sure what difference it makes - my opinion - which i believe was sought for is that if your score is anywhere in the range of your grade level - fall or spring - you do not have a strong case for skipping a grade.  I don't know why you would want that anyway unless your kid was such a phenom that they were seeking you out to move up.  Just wait til 3rd grade for AAP math which skips a year anyway.  My 8th grader is in geometry and I just don't really see why anyone would want to be more accelerated than that unless the kid was such a genius no one knew what to do with the kid.  Which I guess is the case for the 3rd grader in my 5th grader's class.  I think that kid is even good at math compared to the 5th grade AAP class. [/quote]
