[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many of his classmates in 6th grade Algebra 1 went to TJ or AoS? Are you including them in your 90% figure?[/quote] This is the flaw in the numbers given at the committee meeting. AoS gives calculus in 11th grade, though some topics get covered in 10th grade. Not sure what TJ does. [/quote] So this is the issue. I’m the PP (who cited the 90% fail rate experience) my son got into AOS. 2 reasons he didn’t go: 1. They operate as a cohort. He would have had to repeat algebra 2/trig that he had already competed in 8th and received a final grade of a 98. They could not accommodate the jump to a math Analysis in 9th. 2. He plays a sport and had high chances of making varsity as a freshman (which he did) and with practices being after school the bussing situation made it too chaotic for his sport. TJ was out of the question. Too far, not worth it.[/quote]
