[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not OP and don't post here very often, but my DD has a 34 DRA. In K and 1st got all 4's all year. Her GBRS was 16 in K and 14 in 1st. In 2nd she gets mostly 4s. Is getting level II for math and reading in 2nd and also did in 1st. She has a 130 WISC which we submitted. She was only given an 11 GBRS. So, I can only assume her teacher and the committee don't like her very much. [/quote]

Or it could be that she isn’t showing as much initiative and creative problem solving as you think she is. She’s a strong reader, and when she was in K and 1, she may have stood out from her peers. But as is typically the case, her peers have caught up with her and now she isn’t the standout she was was when she first started school. It doesn’t mean she is not bright or engaged in her learning. It just means that she may be perfectly fine where she is and is having her needs met. But this isn’t about people not liking her. [/quote]

This is a good point. I don’t know my son’s GBRS for any year but I would not be surprised if it went down every year. In K, he appeared freakishly smart compared to his peers. But over the next two years, things levels out a lot. He is still easily one of the smartest in his class but the differences are less obvious. I think this is particularly true with strong early readers. [/quote]

Um...just wow.[/quote]
