Grinity,
Yes those are the score for spring of kindy.
I have to think they are national based on the report I am looking at. There is nothing listed under the district heading. For math i=under the norm group average it states 158 and reading 156. Now looking at dd's report from winter, our district tends to score higher then the norm group but only by 1 or 2 points (first grade report).
also looking at her report from fall the average first grader in district scores math 163 (winter 170) and reading 161 (winter 172). wow glad I had her MAP scores handy lol. I didn't look at those numbers earlier.
The 90th percentile number is set by the district. I don't think I can challenge the letter I received ... although I saw this on the website *Decisions regarding eligibility for Early Entrance to First Grade will be made by a team consisting of a school psychologist, the school principal and a district administrator. This decision is final.* So now I wonder if I can keep trying. I will ask if they can do the IQ testing (wisc-iv) now intead of waiting until 2nd grade if that will help (or if I can pay for them to administer it.. thinking it may cost less this way). This bothers me as well...
Q. Can I place my child in District XX kindergarten and then request my child be advanced to first grade after he starts school since my child completed a non-public kindergarten program?
A. No. To enter first grade a child must meet the age requirement of turning 6 on or before September 1 or meet the early entrance criteria for first grade.
HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
