[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]16:31 - what you described is for Blair, which is different for PHS SMCS. Thanks for caring enough to offer input.[/quote]
Huh??
The PP got it directly from PHS SMCS website. It is right under the Magnet Math pathways[/quote]

PHS parent here.   You can see the math pathways here

Also I don't think its true that "most" kids in Functions took Algebra 2 in 8th.   Some, yes.    Mine did not.  [/quote]

DP: But according to this page Magnet Precalc at Poolesville is a four semester course. At Blair, it is a three semester course.

I am guessing this page is a mistake, but if this page is correct, then the PP  (09/24/2021 20:11) is right. Can a PHS SMCS parent chime in as to if there is really a Magnet Precalc D at PHS?[/quote]
I have a Junior in the PHS SMCS program. I honestly haven’t paid attention to exactly what they called the courses. But DC took Geometry in 8th grade, got sorted into the advanced functions group and did Algebra 2 and Precalc as a 9th grader and the equivalent of AP BC calculus as a 10th grader. I think the other track ended up finishing through part of AB calculus as 10th graders and are in BC calculus as 11th graders. It was all a bit sketchy as to what they were actually doing in each course, and no instruction 4th quarter 2020 and then mixing content for 2020-21 year made for a rough AP test (5 on AB subscore, 3 on BC subscore - filling in caps this year and will retake).[/quote]
