[quote=Anonymous]Also, regarding how this is possible: their school is 7-12. So it's basically JR HS and SR HS in one building. Before they leave their middle school there are placement meetings for each kid by committee. They evaluate state standardized tests, ERBs, and grades they 6th and based on these they are either in "Regents" or "Accelerated". Regents track is the normal track (that you and I were probably on back in the day) Fully accelerate is accelerated in Math/Sci and ENG/SS. Some kids are partially accelerated either Math/sci or ENG/SS. My kids are fully accelerated. So, by 9th grade they are taking what the 10th grade Regents kids are taking. So they accelerate 7/8th to get ahead a year by 9th. As a result, My kid could take AP Human Geo and AP Psych in 9th, preAP World. In 10th: AP World, AP music theory, AP comp sci….and it goes on and on[/quote]
