Thanks for the explanation. Sometime you will hopefully give us that other info about the grade equivalents because I am very curious.
Someone pulled DS out of class when we asked about acceleration and gave him about 5 tests in a row that went above grade level that are normally given to the kids at the end of each unit. They were the tests normally used with that curriculum. So there were some questions on there that were very specific to the curriculum, for instance "draw a math mountain showing such-and-such equation." Since DS had never been exposed to that lesson, he got those questions wrong--had no idea what they were looking for although probably understood the actual concepts just fine. The teacher also said she gave him a CBM math assessment for second grade (at the beginning of first grade), because I had asked her to do above level testing for math (this was before the other teacher did the computerized test), and he scored 89 percent (questions correct). But the district dismissed this and said that it's not "rigorous" enough. Any input on that?
