[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reports from my kid are that his friends are already struggling in functions. Kids who have always got 100 percent getting 30 percent for example. Very glad I discouraged him from taking the test. I really don’t see any benefit here.[/quote]

30% is not a problem. The grading is curved fairly. That means it's a good test that won't stifle anyone with a low ceiling.

Blair SMACS is a Science, Math, and Computer Science magnet.

If you are there for Science or Computer Science, you don't need Functions.

If you are there for Math, Functions is your chance to catch up to the kids from WPES (or continue on your path if you are from WPES) and have a once in a county opportunity to take amazing math classes in high school.

You don't even need to take extremely advanced math if you take Functions in 9th. You can continue to Analysis 1  (Calculus) A/B in 10th,  Applied Stats and Discrete Math in 11th,

and Sports Stats (project) or 
Analysis 2 A (half of Multivariable Calculus) or Linear Algebra, in 12th.
