[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for the help. He is moving into an AAP LLIV class because we just moved from an ES in the eastern part of the county that only goes up to 5th grade, no advanced math was offered there, we did not have the option of sending him to the AAP center due to family circumstances. The new school placed him in LLIV because of his very high test scores and the fact that he's Level IV qualified from when he was tested in 2nd grade. This new school is his base school - not a center school but a LLIV - so hopefully they will work with him to catch up on anything he's missing. His older sister rolled from the same ES in 5th grade into a 6th grade class in the middle school where she took the 7th grade SOL at the end of 6th grade, so the same set up. (It was called compact math back then I think.) She just finished Alg II H in 9th grade now, with no problems at all.  I just wasn't sure about the 6th grade in ES vs. MS part.  Thanks for the advice though - we will definitely look at the curriculum to see what he's missing.

Just to confirm what someone else posted, not all schools offer advanced math studies in ES. Our former ES does NOT offer any advanced math, nor did several of the schools around that school. Can't speak for everyone, but not all parts of the county have equal access to the more advanced classes, even though there are kids qualified at the schools and who may benefit from those classes.
