[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here with an update.  I ended up sending a friendly, inquisitive email to the gifted services coordinator and got a very defensive email back in which she denied my request to reconsider pulling DC out of the gifted services program.

We continued working through AoPS pre-algebra at home with a lot of success, which is of course far beyond anything they do in 5th grade math pullout, so whatever.

DC scored in the 98% on iReady in the winter diagnostic.  Reading scores were up a lot, too.  Like I suspected, since DC has inattentive ADD, DC likely got bored on the earlier test and didn't try, or maybe we missed a day of medication and didn't realize it.

I doubt the school will do anything to remedy the situation, like put DC back in the gifted services program.  I guess it doesn't matter - DC outscored almost all of the kids in the gifted program without the benefit of any gifted services at school.   DC still really enjoys math and wants to study "computers" in college, so we'll keep plugging away with AoPS.
