Hi! I have posted here off and on about my forth grader and her being under callenged. We have come upon an opportunity to send her to a good private that goes from 6-12. Even though she is going to fifth grade next year, we think it would be good for her to start sooner than later.
A little background. She is identified as gifted at her small school. She has no gifted classes or pull-outs and what they say is differentiation is way too easy for her. She was an early bloomer. Sat on her own at four months and was crawling on all fours just before five months. She knew and identified all numbers and letters by 18 months and could draw happy faces with hair and dangly legs before she was two.
We had her take the WJIII and she scored an overall 99.6 percentile.
So, my question.
She took the OLSAT this year to test into gifted. She did test as gifted but I called the principal who hand scored the tests for the results an all he could give me was the she was at 93 percent (can't find the percent symbol on my phone!)
So this school we are going to try to get her uses the OLSAT for their admit test!
Is the OLSAT a test that can only be given one a year? Her score of 93 seems so low to me and she did not finish. Would they expect a 99 from a child planning to skip fifth?
Any thoughts on this or the skip or private Day schools with uniforms and Latin in general gifted kids.
My dd is very popular at her current school and finds she spends a lot of her day patronizing others and not having much time to form friendships with people that would feed her soul. She is very thrilled about us looking into a skip and another school for her. Any thoughts at all? Especially on that test.
Thank you so much!
