DS is in 4th grade in a magnet program where is a grade level above in math. Next year he will be in middle school and can either go to 6th grade math OR 6th grade honors math - which is the equivalent of skipping "regular" 6th grade math.

Per the district math flow chart 6th grade math puts him in 6th grade honors in actual 6th grade, to keep it simple he's then honors tracked through 12th with Algebra in 8th up to AP Calculus in 12th.

6th grade honors puts him in Algebra in 7th, Honors Geometry in 8th, requiring his first period to be at the high school and then ends up in 12th with duel college enrollment because he takes AP Calculus as a junior.

As crazy as it sounds we have to make the decision this week on his math placement (he could always try testing out again, but it seems better to get on this track younger). He is an excellent math student, 100s across the board, 99th percentile, blah, blah. Of course 2458430956 different things could happen. But from veteran parents - is it worth going for 6th grade honors next year based on the end result or is he fine with Calculus in 12th grade? [/quote]
