My daughter is a 6th grader and in the District's magnet program(It's the same district as Frannie's)What I learned is when she started in third grade there was a big range in the MAP math scores. There were a couple kids 20-25 points ahead of her.(and she was in the 99 percentile) They are all in sixth grade algebra now and there scores have pretty much evened up. I know there was a kid last year who was a sixth grader that took Geometry at the junior high but he was more the exception than the rule. St. pauli girl is probably right in the early years it might matter but by sixth grade it doesn't seem to matter that much.
