[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's also worth considering that while many middle schools offer Algebra I or Geometry, only some of those schools have a sizeable number or percent of students who test proficient. There are also big differences across schools with respect to placement of students (i.e., only a select few are offered vs the entire class takes it) and in the size of the student population prepared for Algebra I or  Geometry. CAPE scores can be a helpful first pass for assessing school placement philosophy and student readiness.

Some relevant stats from the SY23-24 CAPE from a previous thread:

Middle schools with 10 or more students passing the Geometry CAPE:

Latin - 35
DCI - 18
Deal - data suppressed, &gt;95%
Hardy - data suppressed, &gt;95%

Middle schools with 10 or more students passing the Algebra 1 CAPE:

Deal - 247
Hardy - 85
MacFarland - 33
Oyster-Adams - 32
Latin - 32
Stuart-Hobson - 30
Eliot-Hine - 27
DC Prep Edgewood - 23
ITDS - 23
DC Prep Benning - 18
Two Rivers - 18
Wells - 12
Jefferson - 12
CHEC - 12
Francis-Stevens - 11[/quote]

Not very helpful since schools and grades vary widely in size.[/quote]

ITDS is planning to offer Geometry in 8th starting next year. So 7th graders will take a 7th/8th grade curriculum combined into one year, and 8th graders will take Algebra I, with the option of also simultaneously taking Geometry.

This also means be warned, if you don't want your child pushed too fast in math, ITDS makes everyone take Algebra I in 8th in the name of "equity". Because forcing people into math they're not ready for is so equitable![/quote]
