[quote=Anonymous]MCPS is moving away from pushing lots of kids onto the accelerated track. I do know current high schoolers who took alg 1 in 6th, geo in 7th and then went to the HS in 8th for alg 2. They are in BC calc as 10th graders this year. I really don't think there were any 9th graders in BC calc last year so I am surprised to hear about elementary school students taking alg 1. Unless maybe it was Chevy chase where 6th is still elementary? The private schools don't tend to push math as fast. It is normal to do alg 1 in 8th grade. Schools like Georgetown Prep have a lot taking alg 1 in 9th grade because they say that a lot of kids didn't learn it well enough in 8th. [/quote]
