Thanks Grinity. Never thought about comparing birthdays but that's definitely worth a look. I doubt the principal would make an exception for him. They have a "testing coordinator" but it's clear that she's only concentrating on bringing the low scores up. We will have those conversations with them though just to make sure everyone is on the same page. If we have data from the assessment, it'll help us determine what next steps are. Thanks for your $.02! Will definitely read the Iowa Acceleration Scale Manual.
