[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unfortunately math instruction is so poor in DCPS that you cannot rely on grades or Iready scores to understand if your child is actually learning. If you have a sense of where you want your kid to be in math (like Algebra in 7th or 8th?) then you need to be going outside of DCPS both to assess and backstop any gaps. I do think that PARCC/CAPE are likely actually better assessments of what  your child learned in year than Iready or grades especially since it breaks down the score into sub scores. For example I could see that my kid was doing well on basic math facts but poorly on the parts that required writing/explaining reasoning (which checked out - he is a bright kid but lazy with horrible handwriting).

At 3rd I would definitely take my kid to Mathnasium or somesuch to assess how they are actually doing and ensure they are prepared for algebra. Unfortunately, assuming they do algebra in MS, you will also have to closely monitor whether they are getting the instruction they need. Once they get to HS you can have more assurance that the instruction is better … but up until then, I cannot overstate how well and truly f’d math instruction is in DCPS. [/quote]

This has not been our experience in ES or MS.[/quote]
