[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Different language offered, maybe?

Math curriculum not fully built out so if you have an advanced kid, review it carefully.[/quote]

Can you tell me more about this, or direct me to more info? Have a 4th grader and am thinking about playing the lottery. Math is important.[/quote]

When I went to an open house last year at Cooper, they had basically nothing to say about kids who are advanced in math. No explanation of when Algebra I is offered and things like that. It's not clear to me whether the math offerings at Cooper in middle and high school will be the same as at 2nd. I plan to ask that question as we re-apply this year.[/quote]

They told Cooper parents last spring that differentiation in math will happen starting in 7th grade, based on math MAP score at the end of 6th. I believe you can skip one or two years ahead, if you qualify through MAP and also if the kid is on board (especially as skipping two years ahead is a high school level class). I don't know what happened with last year's 6th graders, though. [/quote]

So does that mean they're in a classroom with older kids? It is there like a pod of advanced 7th graders that is taught Algebra I as an all-7th-grade group?

If Cooper doesn't have a 9th grade right now, what's available for advanced 8th graders?[/quote]

I haven't heard what's happening with current 7th graders, so that's something to ask at an open house, or you can reach out to the school. The way that Cooper schedule works, it is much more likely to be an all-7th-grade group, but it depends on how many kids in the grade are interested/able to join. [/quote]
