[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Late chiming in, but we had problems in 2nd grade. Kids was an advanced reader but pulled way back for writing. Kid had problems working left to right, spelling, handwriting. Ended up dumbing down writing to try not to spell wrong.  Was on level M in Kindergarten and Level N in 2nd grade -- makes no sense! In 3rd, they tested orally only and bumped way up. In 4th, got into HGC and teacher worked w/ us on writing solutions. Now dc is a terrific reader AND writer.

All this to say, writing could be holding your kid back too. I would look into that and advocate based on map and oral data.[/quote]

Thanks for the help PP. 
OP here. I'm no expert but I don't think writing is the issue. She gets A's and accolades on every paper she brings home. She has a solid working knowledge of spelling, grammar and punctuation that to me at least is remarkable for an 8-year-old. I suspect they balanced groups based on the previous years mclass value since this new data point was inconvenient being higher than expected.  [/quote]
