Before the school year started we had a meeting regarding Eli's schooling. He did excellent on his 4th grade tests 99 in Reading, 98 in Math and 97 in Science. His ELP (Extended Learning Program) teacher wanted to accelerate him to 6th grade math.
In the end we decided to have him go to the 7th grade math class / the same as 6th grade accelerated math. (It just worked out better for the schedule.)
Then the Bunger Middle School ELP teacher looked at his testing and wanted to see about having him skip 5th grade and just move up to 6th grade. Eli spent a week and a half taking the 1st, 2nd and 3rd trimester literacy tests.
In the end we decided to go ahead and move him up. He started 6th Grade on Thursday, September 29th.
To be an equal-opportunity bragger, here is some info on Josh and Noelle too.
Josh took the FAST test. In the fall they want kids at 90 words per minute, 116 in winter and 131 in spring. In the fall Josh was at 130 wpm. In 3rd grade, reading 'at level' would be a score of 28-30. Josh's reading level was at 41. (Which also happens to be the base reading level for 5th grade.)
In Kindergarten the expected score on the FAST test for the fall is 34 and Noelle was at a 39, so she is going well in school too.
