I live in GA also. I believe it's 3rd 6th & 9th grade. My daughter had a class mate that was required to only stay back in the one subject he didn't pass and moved up in all of the other classes. I wonder if this is a possibility with your son?

Are there other children in your sons class that had the same results? Maybe their class was not taught to the level of the testing so he made great grades on what was taught but come test time, he wasn't prepared for the material on the exam? I've heard a lot of bad press regarding the testing this year.

Good luck!
