[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are about 35 8th graders in geometry now. There are a handful of 7th graders that are taking Algebra I and geometry at the same time.[/quote] And last year there were 85 down from about 150 the year before. They are not taking chances with kids' education no matter how hard parents push for acceleration. You really have to earn the spot in the advanced class.[/quote] Interesting, I did not know the trend but I think that my current 8th grader was in 6th the first year they used I-ready to sort the math classes at the beginning of 6th. My DC that is in Geometry had to pass a test to get into algebra I the beginning of 7th grade. [/quote] When Deal had a lot of kids in Algebra 1 in 7th grade the PARCC scores were mediocre. So they changed their policies. It's actually a great example of a school using data to make changes that are better for student learning. [/quote]
