Hi Quantum2003,thanks for your reply. It's funny you say that because in the 1st and 2nd grades their grades were almost identical across the board, with DD being slightly ahead on reading and DS being slightly ahead on math. Now, DD does have slightly higher grades (I'm talking 99% compared to DS' 96%), however, her percentiles in MAP tests hae always been up in the 90's and DS's were not. This is apparently what they look at to determine possible eligibility initially.
