Help!

Val, do you have achievement testing scores in math? MAP, Key Math, anything that would show her level?

We requested in, I think, 2nd or 3rd grade that school assess DS. They were to give DS the end of 4th tests for a skip into an accelerated track a year ahead. (They "accidentally"--or on purpose, I don't know-- gave him some of the end of 5th tests, which helped enormously.) In 4th we got EXPLORE test scores, which again did not give us a true level (knew too much) but was helpful in demonstrating the problem in a way that everyone could see.

In short: marshal evidence, find out the acceleration process in your district, and make a request in writing...
