[quote=Anonymous]You are using 9th grade Algebra 1 as the base. US math pacing lags some other nations. It moves particularly slowly in the early years, so students taking outside courses can move ahead of grade level content fairly easily then. With 80% of LCPS 8th graders scoring pass advanced on the Algebra 2 SOL before COVID, genius or not, they appear to be comfortable with the material. Reasons for acceleration vary. Some kids may really like math. Others may want to do national summer science research programs which have math prerequisites. Some may want to have more open course slots later in high school to take advantage of TJ’s electives. With only 2-3% of LCPS & FCPS 8th graders taking Algebra 2, it’s not a big cohort. But, for STEM-oriented kids, it can be helpful.[/quote]
