[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This claim sounds to be as valid as the poster who was saying that Loudoun County has 200 6th graders in Algebra 1 when the SOL scores show 30 kids in Algebra 1 in Loudoun.

It looks like this poster was assuming this is the same number as algebra 2 in 8th grade.[/quote]
That's correct. Upto 200 students complete Algebra-2 in 8th grade, of them significant number complete Algebra 1 in 6th and rest majority take summer geometry. Even in Loudoun, URM kids are not aware of this acceleration path, which also needs to be addressed from an equity perspective.  [/quote]

Do you understand that you can look at the SOL page for the state of Virginia and see how many kids took the Algebra 1 SOL in 6th grade, in Loudoun County, and see that the total number was 30. The Algebra 1 SOL is the SOL that all the kids taking the class are most likely to take so they can use it as a verified credit toward graduation.

30 kids took the Algebra 1 SOL in 6th grade for Loudoun County.

There are a good number of kids who will take Geometry the summer of 7th grade in order to take Algebra 2 in 8th grade, but only 30 of the Algebra 2 kids in 8th grade took Algebra 1 in 6th grade.

This is not an attempt to block URM from taking Algebra 1 in 6th grade, it is not readily available to any group. [/quote]
whether it is 30 or 40 or 100 does it matter.  Students are successfully completing Algebra 2 in 8th grade while demonstrating high proficiency in SOLs.    Why cant more of that be encouraged given successful results?[/quote]

Fairfax could maybe do a little more, but 6th grade as part of elementary complicates things.  In Loudoun. what is needed is transportation from middle to high school, which is fewer schools. and also more students per school because it is not just algebra 2 students but some other subjects as well.[/quote]
