[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son was waitlisted at Barnsley with a score of 144.[/quote]

Really? Does he have behavioral or focus problems at school?  That is a very high score compared to the Barnsley median.[/quote]

I suspect not a strong teacher recommendation, which is probably what PP was getting at, too.  Is math a particular strength? Which home school?[/quote]

Teacher strongly recommended we have him take the test, and became visibly upset when we shared he was not interested in potentially leaving farmland due to loss of peer group.   She can't offer him math that is challenging enough.  Reading is 5th grade level. Typically Scores 98th -99th percentile on the standardized tests. We are not upset about him being on a wait list. Honestly,  would prefer an enriched program at home school. Just wondering if farmland does a good job of offering accelerated classes in 4th and 5th grade. Any experience?[/quote]

That's strange, it's my understanding that math is not different in the CPHG.  All classes are regrouped (HGC and non-HGC) with some kids taking regular math and others taking compacted 4/5.  There seems to be more formal things in place at schools to meet the needs of strong math students than strong reading students.[/quote]
