The Metis report was not about enrollment in compacted math, it was about enrollment in special programs. Compacted math is not a special program.

DP.. no, it isn't, but it seems to me that this is about the overall achievement gap, and not having many URM in advanced courses/programs/tracks.

Do you have any data about the demographics of fourth-graders in compacted math?

I doubt MCPS would make that public.

Why do you suppose there are double the number of students in CM compared to two years ago?

Two years ago our school had one compacted math class, 3 regular. Last year it was 2 compacted math, 2 regular but the two compacted classes were smaller.

This year there are 2 compacted math classes but they are both over 30 kids with the 2 regular classes about 20 kids each. So probably about doubled at our school in two years.

Again... it really does appear that CM size has doubled in the last two years. Why?
