[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok the child ended up not taking French at school and is now attending Les Classes du Samedi (level 5). Is it to possible do to a placement test for HS? Should that be done before registration or it can be done during the Summer? What MCPS French level corresponds to Saturday school level five?[/quote]

Bonsoir OP. I'm the expat from upthread. I'm not sure what you mean by level 5? Do you mean 5eme, ie, 7th grade equivalent? If that is the case, then I think they could be Level 4 in MCPS French. My 9th grader is in 3eme at the Classes du Samedi this year. You can ask for an MCPS placement test at any time during the school year, because with budget cuts, I'm not sure they can do one in the summer. Unfortunately MCPS foreign language teachers have varied abilities. Last year in 8th grade, my daughter had an absolutely wonderful Spanish teacher from Barcelona. This year, eh. I've heard French instruction in MCPS is even spottier. Maybe do another language in MCPS, continue with Classes du Samedi and when the time comes, take the AP French exam at the local MCPS high school.
