Criteria seems to be advanced pass on 6th grade SOL and 1125Q quantile iReady score. Class will be graded A-F and appear on official transcript. We have two weeks to opt out.


Criteria was different at our school. This is unacceptable

Wondering how Algebra 1 is going for everyone. Have there been significant numbers of students dropping the class?

DS reported that 2 kids dropped between the start of school and when algebra started (opted out of the pilot entirely). None have dropped since that he's aware of. Center school, in person teacher, ~50 kids taking it.

No one dropped from Algebra 1 class so far.
