Fed up with the kids' school

I don't think I've ever been so upset with an educational institution as I have been this week. I had yet another IEP meeting with the school to initiate additional testing for Cora. They continue to tell me that she is working at grade level and that since she's keeping up with her peers, there is no need to pull her out of the classroom and give her additional support. I think it's the biggest bunch of malarkey I've ever heard.
My daughter who is going to be 10 next month and is in the fourth grade is still counting on her fingers to come up with basic addition answers. She has not learned her simple addition and subtraction facts because something is causing her to not be able to retain them. Last year, in third grade, they introduced multiplication and Cora's only option was to learn how to draw pictures of the problem and then count out all the pictures to get the answer. So, if she had 4x3 she would would draw four groups of three circles, then she'd count all the circles to get the answer. While that's a great way to help solve the problem, she still needs to have her multiplication facts memorized because this year she is going to have to multiply using two and three digit numbers. She can't draw 84 groups of 76 circles if the problem is 84x76. That's just ridiculous. It took her forever to get the concept of working from right to left when adding or subtracting multiple digit numbers and every time we sit down to do math I have to reteach her carrying or borrowing so I just don't understand how if she's struggling with 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade math concepts still, why her teachers insist on saying she's working at grade level. They tell me that a few other kids are also counting on fingers still so because Cora does that, she's not behind if others do too. To me that shows me that other kids are also behind and the school doesn't see it as a problem.
I received her Lexile reading score of 344. That was lower than the score she received back at the end of 2nd grade and at the end of 3rd grade. (On a side note, she never did progress farther in third grade with her reading than she ever did in 2nd grade. Her Lexile score was lower at the end of 3rd than it was at the end of 2nd.) I admitted that a student's scores will drop over the summer if they didn't keep up with their reading but that' 80 points lower which is ridiculous. The teachers told me that she was going to retake it outside of the normal classroom with the special education teacher so that Cora would be allowed to read out loud. This is exactly what we had decided at her previous IEP meeting at the end of last year. HOWEVER, this was not the plan carried out this year. Only after she did poorly did they decide to give her the option of what was in her IEP. Last I checked they are supposed to follow her IEP, not only use it once she's fails the other way. Why set her up to have her self confidence knocked down yet again?! I don't understand. By the way, for readers that don't know what and IEP is, it's an Individualized Education Plan set up for students who need additional help and support with learning in or outside the classroom and Lexile Scores are a way to evaluate where children are at in their reading in relation to the average in their grades. For Grade Levels 4-5, the Lexile Band that a student should fall into is 645-850. Again, Cora was at a 344. For Grade Levels 2-3, the Lexile Band that a student should fall into is 450-725. To me this means that she's working below a 2nd grade level in reading. The teachers did admit it was low and that they were going to retest her but even when they tested her at the end of last year correctly with the ability to read aloud he was still only in the low 400's. How is that anyway near where she's supposed to be?
I have resorted to paying out of pocket for two tutors to come every day of the week. One comes Tuesdays and Thursdays and the other comes Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. One helps Cora with homework and one helps with going over the rudimentary parts of learning math. We have gone back to the basics. The school is aware and tells me that she doesn't need the extra support because that support outside of the classroom is for kids that need to learn in a different learning style than the other kids in the class or for kids that have holes that need to be filled in from previous years and that doesn't fit her description. That is exactly what I think Cora needs and they continue to disagree. She has an IEP, they have the ability to give her the extra support, but they absolutely refuse to admit that she actually does need help. The problem is that she isn't disruptive in the classroom, she will do the work if reminded to get started so she isn't a big problem for the teachers. Therefore, they see very little problems and no reason to remove her for extra support classes.
I never thought I'd have to see my kid fail in order to finally get the help she needs. The school itself is setting her up for failure instead of helping her to succeed. The school is in the process of retesting her and it will need to be done within the next 90 days. As a parent, I have resorted to having to say, "I REALLY AND TRULY HOPE THAT MY DAUGHTER COMPLETELY FAILS THESE TESTS SO THAT THE SCHOOL WILL FINALLY REALIZE THERE IS A PROBLEM AND SHE CAN FINALLY GET THE HELP SHE SO DESPERATELY NEEDS." What kind of parent should ever have to say that about their kid?! What kind of education system do we have set up in this country that allows a kid to completely fall flat on their face before they'll finally recognize that they really did need help?! I'm at a loss. It is me against the school and my daughter is caught in the crossfire! I welcome any suggestions, comments and help. I don't know what to do.
