[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son, who is currently in 3rd grade, goes into a 5th grade AAP class for math each day.  He is working on 6th grade math in this class.  He is on track to take Algebra 1 in 5th grade.  I had assumed that he would be going to a middle school for this class.  We were just informed that, in all likelihood, he will be taking Algebra 1 as an online course at his elementary school.  I am trying to get some information regarding what other children in a similar situation have done before.  (I don’t think that taking Algebra this way is the best option for him).  [/quote]

Where we live, you need to be at one of the rich schools for this to happen. I remember one of my kids was scoring 250+ on their MAP-M at the beginning of 3rd. Kids who score that high at the end of 5th were placed in Algebra in 6th at the affluent schools but our school didn't have any advancement so my kid wasn't able to take algebra until 7th. They had long since mastered the material on their own and the school knew this but it didn't matter.[/quote]
