[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No idea, nobody at the school will tell me. I want my child to be in advanced math but the school refuses while also refusing to tell me why. I got "we test each kid at the beginning of the school year and yours did not reach the threshold to be in advanced math". When I ask "what test", they won't tell me. When I ask "okay, well then what was the score and what was the threshold score" they "can't disclose that information". It's bullshit and more based on who the PTO parents' kids are.[/quote]

You may not be able to see the test they use for placement. You can ask what your child scored though. If you feel very strongly you can go to the principal and demand your child be in advanced math then. But is your child really that good at math if they didn’t even test in?[/quote]

This happened to us too. The teacher finally said the advanced math class had two benchmarks- passed advanced on the SOL was one. So then a few weeks later- the SOL report came out and only 9 kids (including mine who was not in advanced math) so I took it to principal and then region principal. She was moved within the week. Currently an engineering major in college. [/quote]
