I am curious about something and wonder if you folks might offer some perspective. When considering acceleration, one of the things I've seen online and in some of the area school district documentation is demonstration of being "two years ahead" of peers. Why is it two years?
I think you (or we?) need more detail re what "two years ahead" means in your school district. It sounds like you're interpreting it to mean being able to pass an end-of-year assessment two grade levels out, but that might not be what is meant at all. I can imagine several different interpretations of "two years ahead". For example, if the documentation is referring specifically to achievement testing, then it might be referencing "grade level equivalent" scores, which isn't the same thing at all as passing an end-of-year upper grade level assessment.
