[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are moving to Mont Cty.  My child is in 8th grade and currently taking Alg II.  I was told he will be bussed to the HS for this class.   I was looking at the MCPS course catalog.  It looks like there are 2 levels of Alg II available —Alg 2A and Hon Alg2A.

The class that my kid was placed in is Alg 2A not the honors section.  Apparently it’s the section that all the MS kids are in. It’s my understanding that Alg 2  counts towards GPA and the honors section is weighted higher.

So if a kid is advanced why wouldn’t they be placed in the higher level? [/quote]

How do you know it's not Honors? Is it based on the schedule you received?
What's the exact course title/code on your document.

If it's not Honors, the reason is probably due to scheduling conflict for 1st or 7th period when your child visits from middle school.

Ask the teacher to pull a copy of the Honors homework from another section, as a supplement.

The classmates might not be the best academic influence, and might be in 10th or 11th grade.

It's not a huge deal. Your child should already be enriching at home (Calculus or similar) if they have that much talent.
