[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How high does FCPS test beyond grade level?[/quote]

In first or second grade, they will test up to one year ahead.  [/quote]

No, starting in kindergarten they will test up to a year ahead.[/quote]

And there is no means of knowing how much improvement there was for kids coming in at the benchmark.  [/quote]

My son tested at the top benchmark at the beginning of first grade.  An avid reader, I'm guessing he is at an advanced 3rd grade level by now.   He just got tested (he told me) a couple of weeks ago.  It seems the teacher made him read only one little story and then tell it back.  He said it was a "baby" book.  Then the teacher said that's it, great job.  She didn't test him further, so I'm guessing they tested him at the same benchmark he was tested at the beginning of the year.[/quote]

That can't be the correct interpretation or relaying of the story.  To pass that benchmark the child needs to pass both the fiction and nonfiction parts of the DRA and if he was already at the second grade level, that is all written.  If he is still orally "retelling," that is not through second grade.[/quote]

Nope, the first time my oldest wrote on a DRA was in 3rd grade.  They will administer orally for all first and second graders no matter how advanced.[/quote]

I'm the PP, and forgot to say she went to a Montessori preschool so she was reading magic treehouse books in kinder.[/quote]

That is incorrect.  Both my kids who maxed out at the end of the third grade DRA level 28 while in second grade, used writing as the assessment.  I'm also a former first grade teacher in the county.  [/quote]
