[quote=Anonymous]There is no official "path" it is varied and at the discretion of the math team and counselors at each middle school. 
If you mentioned what specific schools you were in then maybe you'll get more specific feedback.
Normally the "accelerated" track for grade 5 would be Compact 5/6. But this puts you on an official track for Algebra by 7th grade (and calculus by 11th). To be officially on track to take algebra by 6th you would need to look out for if your school offers AIM 6 or AMP 6+ (whatever they are calling it these days) at the 5th grade level. This is probably rare and if offered at all, likely only at a CES school.

Frost has specifically been mentioned here that they bump a handful or two students each year to algebra in 6th based on MAP score and teacher evaluation during the first couple weeks of school. There is no official support or catchup offered. Its up to the student to figure out and cover any gaps in curriculum that they missed by not taking AIM 6.[/quote]
