[quote=Anonymous]Yep - kids get some high school credits in middle school and let’s you explore other courses or get college credits in high school etc. But, it does look like primary motivation is still TJ admissions. Based on the link below, most of the TJ kids had taken algebra I in 7th grade. Only about 7% kids took algebra I in 8th grade. http://www.fcag.org/documents/TJ+Class+of+2020+Math.pdf Also, below is another link that might explain why there is so much interest in AAP program in this forum. Most of the TJ feeders are AAP center schools. Also, kids need to get pass advanced on 7th grade math SOL in 6th grade along with 91 percentile in IAAT to be eligible for algebra I in 7th grade. This is only possible if the kid is already in advanced math track in elementary school. Personally, I don’t think it’s fair to split kids so early in 3rd grade with so much at stake later on. http://www.fcag.org/documents/TJHSST%20All%20Middle%20Schools%20Class%20of%202022.pdf[/quote]
