[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's up with the wildly different impressions of what math is offered at Deal!? As a parent of an elementary schooler who I plan to send to Deal in 4 years, I just went from shock/horror that algebra I isn't offered until 9th grade (which would be far behind what I had as an attendee of a mediocre public school in the early 00s) to shock/awe that a 10th grader could take calc bc (far and above what my mediocre public school offered). I know sometimes people shitpost or just have no idea what they are talking about, but I am disturbed at the total lack of agreement on this![/quote]

The school has many offerings and kids take what is appropriate for them. My eldest kid was not good at math. She tested into math 6 in 6 grade at Deal and did the normal offering at Deal, then at JR algebra 1 in 9th grade, geometry in 10th, algebra 2 in 11th and statistics in 12th. My second kid is good at math, tested into 7th grade math in 6th grade at Deal, did 8th grade math in the summer with Smac, algebra 1 in 7th grade, and algebra 2 and geometry in 8th grade. She is now going to HS where she us going to take precalc. So different experiences for different kids, based in their skills and strenghts[/quote]

Yes. Math paths and placement are one of the most tailored/organized things at Deal. I also had kids on two different tracks, and everything was explained clearly each time. If I’m remembering correctly, Ms. Neal walks through all of the possible tracks at 6th grade parent orientation.[/quote]
