[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are your experiences with Math differentiation at an earlier stage at your school? DD is advanced in Math at a public elementary school and we want to continue progression at a private school. Which major private schools in the area can offer that at the LS and MS levels? Thanks[/quote] By middle school I expect most privates can differentiate by choosing different classes. For most schools, this all tracks backwards from when the student will take a real high school quality Algebra I class. For most students at St. Andrew's, for example, that is 8th grade, but some students will be ready sooner by 7th a some not until 9th. Publics are almost always appear to be ahead of privates in lower grades, but I am sure DCUM could be filled with stories of "advanced" MCPS elementary school students who were "lost" by 8th or 9th grade -- not all, of course, but too many.
