[quote=Anonymous]In FCPS, to be eligible for Algebra before 8th grade, a kid needs to do all of: successfully complete 6th grade advanced/AAP math, get a pass advanced on the 7th grade math SOL (taken at the end of the 6th grade advanced math class), and get a 91st percentile on IAAT. These requirements are set in stone for all FCPS kids. To do 5th or 6th grade Algebra, the kid needs to be skipped ahead in math in some grade prior to 6th grade, such that the kid is in the 6th grade AAP math class before 6th grade. The main pathway for this is to have a CogAT Q score >= 140, have high SOL scores in 3rd and 4th grade, and get the recommendation of the teachers. Then, the kids who meet these criteria are given a test, and those who pass are placed in the 6th grade AAP math class as 5th graders. In some cases, kids are skipped ahead earlier than that or skipped ahead more grades. That's at the discretion of the principal. [/quote]
