[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our MS got around this by simply getting rid of AIM...
Our kid was in Compacted 5/6 in 5th and is now in AMP7+ in 6th. AMP6+ and AMP7+ are the only options for MS math for 6th at our school.[/quote]

What school? At the presentation last night, they said MCPS won’t offer IM next year because of gaps in the curriculum but that AIM will continue to be offered because it has accelerated and enriched instruction. From what they said, it sounded like AIM should be offered in all schools. [/quote]

Great! MCPS advertised that AIM is created (along with HIGH) for 6th graders who did not get in magnet MS due to lottery. The reason is because there is a cohort of high-achieving students and we will put all of these students together and create a math class that is as good as that in TPMS/MLKJr MS. Yes, they get rid of testing and use lottery.

Now fast forward, MCPS will get rid of IM so all 6th graders are mixed together in AIM. How nice and considerate for MCPS to that cohort of high-achieving![/quote]

No, IM is for 7th graders who took math 6 in 6th but can accelerate a bit to get to algebra by 8th. Advanced track 6th graders take AIM, above grade level 6th graders take math 7, and on grade level take math 6. I don’t know what they will do for the kids who would have been a match for IM, but maybe it’s uncommon and they’ll just eliminate the on ramp and keep that cohort on grade level.
