Our school district starts accelerated math in 3rd grade. The compact 3-4-5-6-7-8 into 4 years. Our experience with the accelerated math.. dd11 in 5th grade.. correct pacing proper fit. Her NWEA MAP scores are in the 240 range on 6plus test. (her last 2-5 MAP was a 245 last spring). On the other hand, our ds9 in 3rd grade and taking 2-5 MAP is scoring in the 245- 250 range. The pacing way is too slow and repetitve for him. I think the kids in the accelerated math had to have scores in the 95th percentile consistently not just one test as its one test one day.
Good luck on advocating for your daughter. In our district, we have been only met with road blocks.
