[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP says their child is in 7th and taking Algebra next year in 8th. That gives me pause, because at Deal Algebra is offered in 7th for above grade level students, and an "advanced" learner would be in Geometry by 8th. Is that not one of the options at Macfarland? [/quote] There were 7 seventh graders total testing proficient in math last year. No, they are not teaching a geometry class. And they shouldn't. Already the algebra class is mostly kids who are not at grade level. [/quote] This which also confirms one of 2 things. Either OP’s kid is not really above grade level in math or if he is then it’s obvious his needs are not being met in such a majority low performing school where kids are way below grade level. The 7th graders are not even ready for Algebra. [/quote]
