[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do schools require a minimum number of students before they offer a class? What I mean is, if only a few 6th graders are qualified to take the advanced class, does the MS need to offer it to them? Or  do they only offer it if they can fill a full class (25+ students)?

We were told that they need 16 kids to hold a class, but I don’t have it in writing. [/quote]

It varies by school.  Our school just puts the 6th graders in with the 7th grade Algebra students.[/quote]

That’s because Algebra is Algebra. There’s no such thing as 6th grade Algebra or 7th grade Algebra.  But a school won’t offer a course if there aren’t enough students to take it.  Think ahead to Algebra 2.  I assume the PP was asking about AIM (if it differed from IM and wasn’t offered to everyone.)[/quote]

Your post makes zero sense.  They will be offering a pre-algebra but it will probably called something different.  There isn't a huge difference between AIM and IM and it leads you to the same place of Algebra the next year.  A good portion of the kids take IM/AIM so it will be offered.  Algebra will also be offered as once you hit Algebra its options vs. grade kids are in.  Some schools allow 6th graders in Algebra and some don't.  However, many kids now take it in 7th so it will be offered.  [/quote]
