| Its not just the W schools. Either the middle school offers it or the kids have to go to the high school to do it. |

| We will talk to the counseling department. Just wanted to see how the numbers look on the ground. |

There are a few kids that are taking it. Most of them started in algebra in 6th skipping 7/8. I did hear of one case where the child skipped geometry and went straight to Algebra 2. |

Thank you very much! Are those kids taking it at their HS? |

I cannot imagine they skipped geometry. They probably did it over the summer or another time. |

My son's bff took geometry and algebra 2 in 8th grade at an MCPS MS. He took IM in 6th, Algebra in 7th then geometry and algebra II in 8th. This is at a MS co-located with a HS so no need to worry about transportation. OP, there are going to be a million answers to your questions, but the one thing you can always count on in MCPS is that there is little consistency. |

You are correct. Geometry is a MD state graduation req. |

| I know a rising 8th grader that just took Alg 1 and Geom in 7th. He'll be taking Alg 2 in 1st period at his future HS then busing to MS for 2nd and the rest of his day. He also scored over 300 on his MAP-M. Sharp kid. |
