Child should be in pre-cal this year if super advanced and they aren't offering AP pre-cal at many schools this year so there is no comparison.  [/quote]

DP.  No, MCPS's most advanced (naturally) track is Alg II in 9th or equivalent class (Pre Calc I at Blair/Wheaton or Functions at Blair). The only kids that did precalc in 9th (alg II/equivalent in 8th) either moved in on that level, or did summer classes, or bumped up for lack of iffetings in ES or did enrichment and pressured admin. It's possible that things have changed, but in '22's and '24's day, this was the limit, and some ES's would not track higher no matter what. Some would because they didn't offer  accelerated and bumped a kid up or parent lobbied or whatever.  [/quote]

No, our non-w school offered algebra in 6th and several do.  So, that is the most advanced track.   It’s been done for years.   The schools have been listed in the past.   The Blair class is a mixed algebra 2 and precalc class which sounds like a bad idea to combine two years into one.  [/quote]

No student at PBES or Pinecrest (back in the post 2.0 hgc days) was elevated, so TPMS magnet had very few taking Algebra in 6th. I know things were different pre 2.0. Maybe things have swung back, but for current HS kids (upperclassmen at least), this would have been the case.[/quote]
