[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My family is moving to the DC area in August and I am looking for info on where we might move to based on what might be a good school for my son. He is four (Sept birthday) but has an "individual education plan" from another state that recommends that he start school this year. ([b]His pediatrician recommended that he get tested and he scored very highly[/b]. He is very big for his age, and can read, write, do math problems, etc., but he is not super-social, which I doubt will change radically with time.) I don't expect we will stay in the area for more than 2-3 years. My husband and I are both laid-back, and we value living in a leafy environment (could be urban but we like to be able to walk around in an area with green space). We will be renting and don't have a huge budget. I will be working downtown (Smithsonian). If anyone has any ideas or tips, I would be grateful.[/quote] What kind of test and what were his scores? We can tell you how normal he will be around here. School for a kid with a 170 IQ is very different than for a 140 IQ, kwim? [/quote] I'm not worried about him being "normal". I want him to enjoy going to school. His scores seemed quite good to the people who assessed him... I don't know anything about the tests and their reliability, and haven't had time to read up on them. (It seems like they make a lot of conclusions based on a couple of hours of testing, of a four-year old!) Woodcock-Johnson III: achievement (99), reading (99), math (98), writing (>99.9), academic knowledge (81). RIAS VIX (99.74), NIX (58), CIX (95). So scores all over the board on the second one.[/quote]
