My 3rd grade son recently scored 257 (RIT score) on the NWEA MAP test for Winter 2012. My wife and I feel that he has the aptitude and knowledge set to take Algebra next school year as a fourth grader. As a third grader he has been subject accelerated into 5th grade math but it still does not present a challenge to him. Subject acceleration had been relatively unheard of in our school district prior to our son this year. It was a huge struggle with administration to get this done so we are expecting another battle regarding our newest request. Are we at all out of line in making this request? We just scheduled a meeting with the elementary principal for later this week.
