[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hello All,

What is the option to take IOWA for non AAP student in grade 6?[/quote]

Unless they are enrolled in advanced math, (math 7) they are not eligible to take the IOWA.[/quote]

So indirectly aren't eligible to apply for TJ?

With number of AAP classes reduced + equity in place, the number to qualify in IOWA will be reduced considerably. So few students of particular race are stopped indirectly from elementary school itself.

Few years down the lane TJ will have the right mix as the currently elementary school kids bubble up to middle school.

Is my understanding wrong?[/quote]

You need to take Algebra 1 H in 8th grade to be eligible for TJ, which is available for pretty much every student in MS.

AAP classes have not been reduced, the in-pool criteria has been adjusted for each local school but that did nothing regarding the number of AAP classes. I am not sure what makes you think AAP has been reduced in size.

The change in TJ was partially made to acknowledge that kids change and that the school should not be closed to kids who are interested in STEM but were not in AAP.
