[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCI: When you enter, you can take 6th grade or 7th grade math (IB curriculum), depending on MAP testing (and maybe other components--I'm not sure). They've also allowed a few kids to skip ahead two grades in math, I'm not sure when in middle school this can happen. [/quote] Not at DCI yet but child will be attending in the fall. Per what I understand from open house and principal. 6th grade 2 track - grade level and 1 year ahead 7th grade 3 tracks - grade level, 1 year ahead, 2 year ahead. The highest track leads to AP Calculus in 10th. He also said that kids coming up the chain are getting stronger and stronger in math and they need to expand their advance optiins. IMO if you have a mathy kid who excels, I would look at schools with actual tracking and enough of a high performing cohort where they have actual classes. Differentiation in class at the middle school level and up is rare and does not work well. [/quote]
