[quote=Anonymous]What are the math pathways your middle school offers for students who were not in compacted math in ES and are coming out of Math 5?  In particular, how hard or easy is it at your MS to get into AMP 6+/AMP 7+ and then Algebra in 8th grade, rather than Math 6, Math 7, and Math 8 (and Algebra 1 in 9th)?   Do most kids go from regular fifth grade math into Math 6, or into the faster AMl 6+, or is it a pretty evenly split at your school? Is it true that some middle schools don't even offer Math 6,/7/8 only AMP 6+ and above?

Would love to hear from people whose kids were in regular fifth grade who went through this process and have a sense of the typical placements for your kid's classmates and how their fifth grade math teacher seemed to approach it.  I feel like a lot of the commentary comes from people whose kids were in compacted math from the start and aren't very familiar with the grade level math tracks.
