[quote=Anonymous]If you are FCPS, she is not too young for gifted program as they have already tested and you will know soon. Level III introduced as pull-outs in 2nd and actual program Starts in 3rd grade.

It is true that the DRA scores are what is used for the spelling, reading placements - from my understanding. They talk about "comprehension" of what is read and not just reading ability. interpret that as you will.

I don't know what to advise.  I had one at AAP center and one at GE. My GE kid could have done the AAP work. There is no challenge for the middle/ average kids anymore. If you are average/above average and have involved parents, you have to figure it out on your own. If you are "advanced/gifted" maybe you will get one or two teachers in AAP that really make it advanced but mostly it is the math.  If you are below or need remediation, you get more.

One in public HS and one in private MS now.  Wish I had gone private in ES now for  both. If you have any means, I would highly recommend. The difference in personal instruction/differentiation is huge.

Glad mine are nearing the end. I feel for the public school teachers. Have no idea how they can meet the needs of 30 kids per class/90 a day or at HS level 150 a day. No way can they do it. If I had a solution, I would offer it.
