[quote=Anonymous]Not true that other criteria are used than the 5 part assessment that is subjectively graded.  My son was recommended by his teacher, scored 480 on his Math MSA, 230 on his MAP-M last Spring but did not get in to compacted Math.  1 Kid in our school quailified dispite the fact our school does exceptionally well county wide on all county tests.  The school told me their hands are tied because he didn't score high enough on the assessment so he now is in a class of 30 instead going at one pace.  They can recommend to be assessed based on other factors (not everyone is even assessed) but without a baseline minimum score on the exercise, you are excluded.  Does anyone have additional information is my principal deflecting and feeding me a line?  This is not right, and it is clear that the in-school assessments grading significantly varied by school.  50% of the assessment is the verbal answer you know.  Maybe the kid just hasn't had enough practice, thought that was what learning was for.........[/quote]
