[quote=Anonymous]We were told by our MS that 6th graders can not skip IM by testing, although 7th graders can. So if you are already in MoCo and your 5th grader is not currently in IM, they will not be taking algebra in 6th. If you move in from out of district, you might be able to get your 6th grader into algebra by showing that their 5th grade math class was equivalent to IM, but you also might not. You might want to talk to the math department chair rather than the counseling department, since the counselors aren't really able to determine equivalence of classes from different districts. Take with a grain of salt, as different schools seem to have wildly different rules for course placement. I don't think there's a MoCo-wide rule. If your 6th grader does end up in Algebra, they could be in with 7th and 8th graders.[/quote]
