[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter scored 83 in 5th grade. She has ADHD.

She scored 90th  and 92nd percentile on her iready benchmarks and she passed her end of grade testing for 7th grade math.

She's been recommended for high school math as a rising 8th grader.

She is an intermediate level piano player, does swim team, as well as dance.

We worked HARD!  She went to mathnasium in 5th and 6th, Lindamood Bell summer before 6th, and did reading tutoring once per week in 6th and 7th.

Do EVERYTHING.  All the tutoring, all the extra help you can afford.  [/quote]

DD scored a 90 in middle school when she was miserable about school. The 90 made no sense in the context of her courses and grades. I decided to ignore the score because my gut told me it wasn’t accurate. She went on to do well in HS and college. Meanwhile, we know a family with a child who was diagnosed with low IQ. She was a very social and curious kid and she went on to do well in her SN private. When she graduated she began doing childcare and eventually got a cosmetology license. She’s doing great. My advice is to continue to provide a rich environment, advocate academically (don’t let them lower the bar if she is keeping up) and have her retested in a year or two. [/quote]
