[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS in 5th grade also had a 249. School wouldn't allow him into compacted math and he's never received above grade level instruction. He doesn't complain but I know he's bored. He earns ES on everything but admittedly makes a rare careless error. Private testing showed exceptional math ability. The tester was surprised to learn of his classroom placement and said it was way below his ability. We're leaving MCPS in hopes we can get him off the track he's stuck on. I'm not asking for any special treatment but if there's a class across the hall that meets his needs, why couldn't they at least let him have a test run.

And we aren't concerned about missed material. He has a thorough grasp of pre-algebra. [/quote]

Does he go to a school that has few kids in compacted math?[/quote]

Good decision. You need to stand up for your child. Nobody will do it except you. MCPS wants everyone to be the same "gray mass."
There are a lot of resources outside. If you can afford good private, go for it.
Even homeschooling is better then doing nothing at MCPS.[/quote]
