Can anyone offer insight into why the new DA cuts are so much higher than the DYS cuts? There is no GAI for WISC-IV and higher scores across the board for SAT, ACT & EXPLORE.

If DYS is the 99.9%, what do the new DA cuts represent?

Also, there used to be EXPLORE scores for 4th and 5th grade. It seems they are narrowing their focus to older, more mature students now. Anyone know the average age of new students to the middle school?

We had been considering DA as one of our future possibilities, but it is looking further in the future now...
