Iready is simply an achievement test, not an ability test. It’s  very possible a student could have performed on grade level but still have the potential to do more advanced work. Perhaps this student just hasn’t been exposed to higher level math yet. It doesn’t mean they woukdnt be able to handle it if it were taught to them by a competent teacher.[/quote]

Is the AAP teacher expected to run four or five different ability groupings in one class?  Some kids will be 3 years above grade level, some will be 2, some will be 1, some will be on-grade level, and some will be below.  Isn't one of the main arguments for AAP that teachers can't effectively differentiate between that many academic levels?  [/quote]

I have a DC at center school. They were provided with their Iready tests scores (the recent ones) in their take home folders and of course compared. If the level does equal grade then per my DC report there was no one in his class who was not at least one level above the grade. Most for reading were at least two. DC is usually in the group assigned the middle school books and his reading level was 3 above grade.

I don't think this is unusual for an AAP center class unless there is a twice exceptional issue going on. [/quote]
