[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 7th grader got 80 at IAAT last year and advanced score in Math7 SOL.

My kid is very strong at math, the only thing is that she works slower than other kids because of ADHD. That was the reason she didn't pass the 91 in IAAT which is very fast paced standardized test (and therefore in my opinion, it shouldn't be the only metric to determine if a kid can be placed in Algebra 1 next year).

Regardless she started with Math 7 HN this year and the material looks very easy to her. She has perfect scores so far and the teacher goes back all the time to review material from Math 7 as some kids are not AAP in the class. She also says that the material is not challenging and that she would rather be in Algebra 1.

Is there a way to request to be bumped to Algebra 1 at this stage, given that she nearly missed the bar because of her ADHD?

If your child has a learning disability such as ADHD they should not be in accelerated math classes, period.

You're an ableist idiot.  My kid has ADHD and anxiety.  They're in AP calc in 10th grade with straight As throughout and with no extra time accommodations.  They also got a 98th percentile on the IAAT with no accommodations.  Many ADHD kids hyperfocus, especially when they find the material interesting.  [/quote]

DP.  Name-calling doesn't help anything.  Your DC may be doing fine in their classes but your DC is a different child than OP's DC.  Should OP's DC be taking AP Calc (AB? BC?) in 10th grade?  Not with that IAAT score.  Without big changes, OP's DC seems to be in the correct placement.  (And some ADHD kids hyperfocus but not all - and certainly not all on math.)[/quote]

OP is trying to move their kid from Calc in 12th to Calc in 11th, not Calc on 10th.

Yes she is.  Still a bad idea.  Leave well enough alone.  Being successful in math is more important than being ahead.[/quote]
