[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do VKPR scores mean anything’s for kindergarteners being flagged? [/quote]

No; the VKRP is not an ability assessment at all. It is a readiness assessment for mathematical thinking and generally guides if students need early intervention. Kindergarten referrals are hard because there's not a lot of hard data to collect. There's also really not reason to refer in K since there won't be enough kids to make a cluster in 1st grade.

I know one kid who as tagged in kindergarten, but he was doing high school math as a 5 yo.  He ended up being allowed to design his own board games during kindergarten math, as he was working on Algebra 2 content at home and it made zero sense for him to be working on kindergarten math skills.  He liked designing board games because he could calculate the statistical probability of different rules.

In later grades APS didn't offer any additional math for him, so he eventually moved to a private school.[/quote]
