I am clueless about this and would greatly appreciate help. DD6 is moving from current school kinder to new school which is a gifted high achieving magnet school. As mentioned in my previous post, I do not believe they will skip her, but will subject accelerate. She is currently in kinder but goes to 1st grade after kinder ends and attends 2nd grade reading group.
We still need to meet with new principal to discuss logistics. HOWEVER, I would like to know if I should be asking her current school to administer year end or assessment tests (I suppose something like the CAT5), or if I should be asking new school to do that after she starts, and then place her in the appropriate classes for math etc.
She has had 1st grade year end assessments for LA at her current school, but nothing that would show that is is capable of more than that.
She will be taking the WIAT next week to hopefully qualify for DYS, but I have been reading on here that school do not put weight on that for placement.
Thank you!
