Thanks Aculady -- I am SO skeptical that the school will be interested in this at all? I wish there were a way for me to qualify this but not in grade level -- as in, how many children test at this level (obviously in the top 1% but it is actually less than that). I just get the feeling that they think (know) they have the brightest kids in the state, and think they might even have some of the brightest in the nation, and their classroom instruction is already a grade ahead (I am not seeing this) and so they do not really need to bend over backward for smart kids.
Case in point: they do not believe they have enough "data" to warrant IQ testing my daughter for the gifted program, yet. So, not only will they not use MAP scores to identify they will not even use them to tell them who to TEST for identification. Because academic knowledge and IQ are not the same. But, really, can a child perform 6 grade levels ahead without an elevated IQ?
