4th Graders Skip Math 4/5 and attend Math 5/6?

It's not uncommon for students at those schools to skip math. One ES even has 6th grade AIM to support the class of advanced 5th graders. |

And, as stated in response to the constant "WPES" posting in every such thread, such acceleration isn't confined to wealthy areas like Potomac, but it is supported in only a minority of schools, with MCPS central admin doing nothing to ensure local fidelity/rigor, the result of which is inequitable differential access to such across the county's similarly-able student population. |

Disaggregate racial groups and the differences will magically disappear. |

Oh, hey, look—there you are! This poster has an ongoing thing about widespread math acceleration (beyond the standard compacted path) that occurs only at “wealthy Potomac elementary schools,” despite never identifying a specific school or offering any evidence of this happening. They pop up on every post about elementary-school math. |

At this point I think it's more satire than real. |

It's satire, but, by hyperbolizong the issue and getting folks to zone out as a result, it's meant to detract from any proper notion of inconsistency across the system and the need for MCPS to address that. |

I wonder which school is that?

I think the challenge is the schedule. The math period must be fit into the daily schedule and not to interfere with other courses.
