[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. The IAAT is the placement test. If she is attending a lower performing non-center school, there is a chance that they will take kids in the high 80s to have the minimum number of 8th graders the following year to justify a geometry class. (You must have at least 8 students to staff a class). If she is attending a center school or a school that typically has 15+ 7th graders in algebra, there is no chance. --MS algebra teacher[/quote] This is not correct. You can contact the school directly and tell the admin you want your child in Algebra. They evaluate her (no test) profile and if agreeable, give you a form. [/quote] Depends on the school. I have taught at 4 FCPS schools, and only 1 was willing to fudge numbers. (It was one where typically only 3-4 7th graders officially qualified for algebra 1 each year) The other 3 held strict to the requirements.[/quote] It is true at Cooper, Thoreau and LJMS. [/quote]
