[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can be good at math and not ready for accelerated math and AAP.

Most school districts set their G&T programs at kids in the 90th percentile, the posters child would not qualify at many programs across the country.

The child is smart but that doesn’t mean the meet the criteria for AAP. [/quote]

That's not what the local committee decided when they checked that box! But you know better of course..[/quote]

I am surprised that they checked the box. The poster said their kids winter MAP was in the 87th percentile, which was a significant improvement. So the Fall MAP score was lower. The kid has 3s on their report card, not a 3 but plural. The test score and grades reported by the parents don’t make me think AAP. That is why I asked if it was a Title 1 school. Those schools are expected to have kids with really good test scores but not the higher scores that are found at MC and UMC schools. That is where the majority of kids who scored below 132 in the past came from, Title 1 and near Title 1 schools. If this child is at a Title 1 school then the HOPE ratings make more sense.

Prior to this year, 15% percent of 7th graders took A1H, meaning at least 15% of 6th graders taking the IAAT scored at least in the 91st percentile. The percentage is higher because there are a good number of kids who meet the old criteria and choose to take Math 7H. The tests needed to accelerate in math in FCPS tend to be high, like 91st percentile and higher. So no, I don’t know why a teacher would check that box when there is a kid who is in the 87th percentile on the MAP. [/quote]
You sound extra out of touch.[/quote]
