Art and sports are generally electives in US public schools. It is entirely possible (and in fact very likely) for a student to be ahead in all academic subjects, especially at the lower grade levels when there's not much specialization yet. Probably not equally advanced. But at the very least, a student who is far ahead in math and science is probably also well above average in reading comprehension.
- mgkimsal 10y agoThank you - that's what I was thinking, but you said it better than I could. I was pushed ahead a grade, and as a result, was always a year or two behind everyone else physically, so, almost by definition, I was always "behind" in gym/phys-ed classes, but there wasn't much I could do about that. Looking back, I was normal/average for my age, but not for my 'grade', and had a tough time with that.
