[quote=Anonymous]For non-magnet MS:
- Most schools have everyone take "advanced" English. It is an on-level course.
- All schools are supposed to offer Advanced IM (advanced math for 6th graders, which puts you on track for Algebra 1 in 7th), but not all schools do. 
- All schools are supposed to offer Historical Inquiry into Global Humanities. As far as I know, they all do, but some offer them to everyone, so it's not tracked. That could mean it is more like an on-levels course.
- Science is just one level.

For non-magnet HS:
- Most HS have everyone take "Honors" English 9 & 10. This is essentially an on-levels course.
- There is differentiation from math (tracks continued from MS)
- Most schools seem to offer both honors and on-level science classes, but sometimes these classes are grouped together -- so the content is the same, but the testing is harder for kids who are in the honors classes. This is, for example, the case at BCC.
- You can generally start taking AP classes in social studies in 9th grade, which means that there is more meaningful differentiaition.
