To take Algebra I in 6th grade, the kid must:
Score 145 or higher on the CogAT Quant section
Score a 575 or higher on their 4th grade SOL
have the support of their 4th grade AAP/advanced math teacher.

Then, if they meet all of these at the end of 4th grade, Gatehouse will conduct additional testing. Kids who meet those benchmarks will be jumped up to 6th grade AAP math when in 5th grade.

In 5th grade, they need a 91st percentile or higher score on the IAAT as well as a pass advanced on the 7th grade Math SOL to be eligible for Algebra in 6th grade.

URMs have no visibility into this unwritten process. FCPS has created this convoluted process with ton of hurdles, and it is out of reach of potentially advanced URM students. Hope they publish and publicize, so that their is equitable access to Algebra 1 in 6th grade.  [/quote]

Most people don’t. There are around 30 kids taking Algebra 1 in 6th grade. It is not a economic thing. [/quote]
