[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]238 is borderline ready for AMP 6+ / Math 7.

If you want to do that, you should practice Khan over the summer to get confident.

250 for AMP 7+/AIM

260 for Algebra.[/quote]

This doesn't sound right. I'd read that schools like Frost place students with 250 plus in algebra. [/quote]

Where did you read that and when?[/quote]

It was discussed here within the past few years. Also,240+ was the gold standard for AIM.  Only some schools accelerate 6th graders to Algebra but 250+ was the standard for the places that did it.[/quote]

The discussion indicated that was based mostly on elementaries that acceded to family interest, combined with outside enrichment/acceleration, to offer AIM to 5th graders.  There are a very few individual students throughout the system that are identified for such grade-skipping acceleration (above the generally available compaction), but that effort at individual identification appears to be very variable at the different ES's, with the suspicion that schools addressing the needs of highly variable populations might not have the resources/energy to pursue related assessment and that some administrators might be less supportive of such advancement in the first place.[/quote]
