Is what rumor about compacted math true? If the rumor is that they're going to get rid of the current evaluation process for compacted math in order to allow more students to accelerate in math, then yes, it sounds to me like it's true.

Here is what I read in the report:

"MCPS remains committed to ensuring that at least 80 percent of students are successful in Algebra 1 by Grade 8. Some students may need acceleration to Honors Geometry by Grade 8, or additional support toward Algebra 1 in Grade 9."

"To remove barriers and allow greater access to acceleration in elementary mathematics, the current process used to identify Grades 4 and 5 students for inclusion in compacted mathematics will be eliminated."

"At the elementary level, we will be reviewing the mathematics curriculum, instruction, formative assessments, and monitoring practices, along with the process currently being used to identify students for acceleration in Grades 4 and 5."[/quote]
