[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, check the MAP-M score. Should be 280+ for a student already in Algebra 2 who passed Alg 1 and Geom.

Also do Khan Academy quizzes as a check. [/quote]
A score of 280+ for ANY 9th grader is in the top 99.7% according to NWEA's RIT scoring.[/quote]

99.7% of 9th graders don't demonstrate mastery of Algebra and Geometry.

OP mentioned 266, which is somewhere above 50% of Algebra 1 + Geometry course questions, but not near 100%.  OP also mentioned getting some B's in Alg 2. (OP didn't say Honors, but I presume it was. If not, it's even more.ofna concern.
280 might be a bit high for this level; it's hard to say because NWEA doesn't publish guidance on interpreting scores above 260. Those scores just means increasingly more than 50% correct on the hardest Algebra and Geometry questions.

OP's DC might struggle in Precalculus and Calculus, as many students do, even in >95%ile cohort.  Getting B's while being in an advanced track is risky. [/quote]
