I'm blinking away tears, now.
Perhaps this is still too raw to talk about.
(big breath)
The charter has had two evaluation reports, performed by our state university, over the last two school years. I got a copy a couple of days ago on the one performed for the 2012-2013 school year. It shows the kids in the charter perform 10% higher than the state average in math, and 20% higher than the school district. They receive a rating of: Exceeding for Comparative Student Achievement.
However, how many kids in that are advanced in math and skew the overall percentage? I don't know.
Recommendations by the evaluation team states a policy be developed that outlines a regular curriculum review process to ensure that they are aligned with the Common Core. I suppose this means they are still working on that change-over to Common Core. (That link you sent: DS was working with fractions in the summer before Kindy.)

When we were sitting with his teacher, we shared a bit on what he was doing mathematically at four. She just put her hands to her cheeks and said that's amazing. Then she looked at DH and me and asked, "So which, or is it both of you...". (Asking which presumably was the math nerd.) We said neither, it must come from down the family tree.
