Our school is an inner city one, with a sizable chunk of the population living in poverty. There is a tiny amount of affluent families.
When I started poking around about the curriculum of this group, the principal stated that she didn't find a need to "assign a grade level" to this group. It is supposed to largely be enrichment with a smattering of some ungraded curriculum.
I know the kids in the group. Maybe one other child could do work 2 grades up. The rest don't know their times tables.
Unfortunately there is not a lot of trust to go around here anymore.
I will certainly go to the next meeting with a positive attitude and will ask to see the curriculum (they still claim that they don't need one).
