[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]teachers have no way of knowing who gave up on spring, who kept up and who went ahead. Assessments are still needed for both class placements where advanced math is a pull out and for in class groupings. All we're doing is witnessing what would be happening if they were physically in school [/quote] OP's daughter is in AAP, so she is already in advanced math[/quote] that may be true of your school, but not every school or center treats level IV like an automatic entry into advanced math [/quote] If OP's daughter was selected for Level IV AAP, then yes, she is in advanced math. It is automatic entry into advanced math in every school in FCPS. However, if OP's daughter was principal placed into Level IV then it might be possible - but still pretty unlikely. Level IV means all subjects are advanced.[/quote] Op here our child was placed by school. We just filled the questions without any extra work from us. Only reason I posted was to see if other kids were in same situation. Ours was tested with teacher so it was DRA assessment and she aced level38 (middle of 4th)and 40 which is end of 4th grade. After that teacher stopped as this is to give the idea where child stands. [/quote] If your child was Principal placed you might want to pursue a formal placement into AAP. Kids who are Principal placed can be displaced if other kids are accepted into AAP formally and need a seat in the class. Also, AAP classes in Middle School are only available to kids who have been accepted into AAP. DRA is done by a teacher, iReady is the computer program. My DS's 3rd grade class is taking a math assessment for Advanced Math today. He was accepted into AAP so we know he will be in Advanced Math but the non AAP kids take this specific test to set the class. We also received an email regarding Advanced Math and what the kids are expected to do and how it is more challenging. [/quote]
