[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This was my child 15 years ago. DD attended a private K before we moved to Fairfax County. When I enrolled her in FCPS, the school registered her for K but made a note that she needed an assessment by the reading specialist. That happened in August. Based on the assessment, the specialist made a recommendation to the principal, who had final say. In our case, the principal approved a 1st grade placement and DD was moved to an appropriate class. I have no idea if that is still a possibility. I do know that not all schools did it; it was completely at the discretion of the individual principal. [/quote] My child was in Montessori with an early October birthday. She was assessed by the school and they placed her her first. She is in 11th grade now and it has worked very well for her. She would have been bored throughout school if she wasn’t moved up.[/quote]
