Thank you.

It’s heavily focused on girl math. For example, anything bought on the starbs app is basically free, if you don’t buy something from a really good sale you lose money, etc.

If your kilt is 8 inches above your knee and 6 inches below your waist and was rolled twice with a radius of one inch per roll, how long is your kilt?

Wow, the misogyny is getting thick in here.

I have heard it’s tough. Sometimes Geometry kids are encouraged to repeat in HS. I believe you can retake the test after taking summer school if needed to try to move up a level to not repeat.

All I know is if we don’t get the placement we want, we are going to enroll at our other school where we put down a deposit
I’m not paying $40k for that.

So you’ve put down two deposits and are waiting for placement test results to make your final choice? Are you making your daughter take two sets of placement tests?

Yes. Results should come back around the same time and well before we are locked in.

Definitely curious to hear if her results are similar or different at the two schools. GL!

What are you hoping for? Are you trying to get into Elementary Functions as a freshman or Honors Pre-Cal? If not, pretty sure almost any other track will get your DD to calculus by senior year. Honors Pre-Cal is a very unusual placement for a freshman at Visi, and I would say less than 10 freshman are placed into Honors Elementary Functions. Good luck.

I’m so curious what level you’re hoping for. I hope you report back!

Stay tuned. Makes no sense that in public school you are placed in the next sequential math course but that private schools can just make you repeat one or two courses you have already taken. I think it’s sheer laziness - not trying to individually assess where people are but instead using a one size fits all approach. As parents we have more power than you think. Just walk.

That’s literally the opposite of not individually assessing? Just passing a kid on to the next level if they haven’t mastered all the material and aren’t prepared would be the one size fits all approach. Schools (private and public) have a wide range of rigor and a variety of approaches to MS math. Just because your kid already took geometry in 8th doesn’t mean they are ready for Algevra 2. Or if they are, should they go into honors or regular? So of course private schools assess incoming students to determine what course to place them in. *Individually assess* them, in fact.

Ok, then just take the Algebra I placement like a chump.
