Not as bragsome as some of the posts here but I am proud nevertheless and I have nobody else in our community to brag to about this.

My DD skipped 3rd to go straight into 4th last year and the NJASK scores were made available yesterday. She scored Advanced Proficient in all tested areas at the end of last year. Maths and Science were 300/300 each whereas LA was not as good - she just scraped by into Advanced Proficient with a 251/300.

The LA score was 'OK' but surprising because her VCI is higher than her PRI both of which are not too shabby. I caught her dumbing down the other day ( see my 'you know you are raising a gifted child' post) so perhaps this is the issue.

Either way, I will be watching this like a hawk this year as dumbing down is something I had to do growing up in a deprived neighborhood and I never ever want to see her doing it...
