[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Deal has a few math tracks:

6th grade: 6th grade math or 7th grade math
Placement is done a few weeks into the school year and is based on iReady scores + teacher observation

7th grade: 7th grade math, 8th grade math, algebra 1, or algebra 1 + geometry
Some kids have the chance to accelerate over the summer, allowing them to “skip” a year and go from 6th grade math to 8th grade math or 7th grade math to algebra 1 (or algebra 1 + geometry, for a very few kids). There’s also an algebra 1 placement test at the beginning of the year for kids who didn’t accelerate over the summer but think they’re ready.

8th grade: 8th grade math, algebra 1, geometry, or algebra 2
Not sure if summer acceleration is possible here. Presumably placement is based largely on 7th grade track.

There is the option to accelerate over the summer before 7th and 8th if the kid is qualified.  Also the option to double up on Geometry and Algebra in one year - no PE/art/music though.[/quote]
