Hi JB
I have been off line for some time. Did they test him for 1st grade level, or beyond that?
Also our DS6 took the reading and math test on Letsgolearn.com, I belive his math is behind your son's, and he did well above 1st grade. Did well on reading, but missed some easy spelling words he knows and was at 2.5 grade for spelling.
Sometimes they have off days, I belive it is what they test for that matters. Secreatly I think they think they know what is best for our children, and that we are pushy parents. JB go with your gut, and keep fighting, keep asking questions.
One thing on math, my DS6 did not do well on metric vs english, so basicly even though he could do all math through 3rd grade, and most through 4th his Metric knowledge was not past 2nd grade. Does that mean he is at 2nd grade level.
Same on Reading, if he spells at 2.5, but reads at 5.5 is he 2.5?
I think you need more detail from them.
I hope my rambling is of help.
Edwin
