[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Realize that this may change in the future due to VA proposals. Currently, what makes a child eligible to take Algebra in sixth grade? Anyone whose child took this path, and now wish they had waited?[/quote] In our district (not FCPS) it's supposedly 99% percentile MAP, teacher recommendation, which leads to individual evaluation by middle school Math coach. In a typical year, they select 5-6 (out of a cohort of ca. 1000). DC (MAP > 270) is working hard in 4th/5th grade through AoPS prealgebra to be ready. Can't wait to escape the age-level classroom. Have seen other kids be successful (one even skipped Geometry). Of course, very small community. All academic parents. Would love to hear how it works elsewhere in VA.[/quote]
