[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]AIM6 and AMP7+ (taken in 6th grade) both lead to Algebra in 7th grade.

AIM6 was developed by MCPS under their old curriculum.  It followed compacted math (4/5/6 grade math covered in 4th and 5th grade) and covered 7th and 8th grade math in one year.
AMP7+ is developed by the current MCPS curriculum provider.  It's supposed to follow AMP6+, which covers 6th grade and half of 7th grade math.  AMP7+ covers the second half of 7th grade math and 8th grade math.

Schools seem to be transitioning away from AIM6 and to AMP7+ as the accelereated 6th grade class, but it's been happening differently at different middle schools the last couple of years.[/quote]

+1 this is a good description. They may not be offering AIM to anyone. AMP7+ does not cover the first half of 7th, so you may need to figure out exactly what content that is and see if you need to fill in any gaps.

As for HIGH (Global Humanities), you need to contact the school to find out what’s going on. That sounds like a mistake. All middle schools are supposed to offer HIGH so your school can’t just not offer it, and if your child was in the magnet lottery pool, they’re supposed to be guaranteed to be in that class.
