[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not in the DCUM area but this discussion strikes a cord - my 4th grader is in the 99th percentile for iready math, again.  He got in the 98th percentile on cogAT for quantitative.  Still, our school won't place him in the gifted program, because his verbal scores are around the 75%.  So freaking annoyed!  They let him sit in the classroom bored out of his mind but have a pullout program for kids who scored lower than him on both tests.  We do Beast Academy at home now, so whatever.  He'll continue to outscore the gifted kids and the school will do nothing for him.  [/quote]

Welcome to FCPS where an IQ test in second grade determines whether or not you are allowed to take advanced classes. [/quote]

If he scored a 75% in verbal then he belongs in Advanced Math not Level IV. If your school starts Advanced Math in 3rd grade, I would talk to the Teacher about his being placed in Advanced Math. If it starts in 5th, then I would be talking tot he Teacher now. He will probably need to score Advanced Pass on the SOL as well as do well on the iReady and CogAT.

Gifted kids are not getting 75% in verbal. FCPS does not have a gifted program but a kid with a 75% in the verbal is not going to be considered gifted.
