[quote=Anonymous]OP you mentioned BASIS. Here's how the math / elective /foreign language scheduling works there. For 6th to 8th, each student is in a group (e.g. 6 Helium). All students have 7 classes together with their element -- and they break up to go to their respective math classes by level (determined by placement tests in 5th, and sometimes adjusted based on performance). The kids choose 1 elective and in 7th choose a foreign language -- so they aren't with their element for that class either. The math classes have most room for differentiation and a wide range of ages. My 9th grader is in Alg 2 with a class of mostly 7th and 8th graders. If the school only had middle school I don't know that they would be able to allow students to advance as far, because there wouldn't be quite enough kids to fill the classes (~20-22 students).
