[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid got 86%tile. Is there any way to retest? She is pretty disappointed.

I don't think she is that good at math personally, but she didn't prep at all and still came close.[/quote]

Is she interested in Algebra in 7th? I don't think all schools allow this but some allow you to appeal 7th math placement.[/quote]

This. No retests allowed but if she does well on the Sol, [b]you can ask the middle school to put here in Algebra 1 honors[/b]. [/quote]

PP, don't do the bolded bit.  Honestly, the 91% cutoff is still way too low for Algebra, and it should be more like 96%.  Your DD may be disappointed, but she would be better served in M7H next year.  [/quote]

I did this. My kid got an A but admittedly worked hard. The whole class worked hard. Very difficult teacher and high expectations. [/quote]

My child got a 99% on the IOWA and a 600 on the SOL. DC didn't work hard in Algebra. It was pretty easy. I think there's a good reason for the cutoffs and it's best to follow them. My younger child just got an 84% on the IOWA and we're happy to have that child take Math 7 honors next year. [/quote]

Eh- not necessarily. There is a huge difference in teachers. My niece also got a 99% and 600 on the Sol. Her teacher was very strict. She felt it was a high school class and appropriately treated it that way. My kid took it at the same time but at a different school. One teacher gave weekly quizzes, grades homework, had lots of questions on tests, frequent tests, gave partial credit, had extra credit chances, etc. One did not.  One gave tests where the hugest grades were in the low 80s. One did not. If my kid took a test and had 30 questions in it and missed 2, she still did ok but if my niece missed 2 questions and there were 10 on the test, she didn’t do well. There were many kids who did very well on the Amc testing and in MathCounts and still struggled with this algebra teacher. The one good thing is that she’s gone from Fcps now! [/quote]
