[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You won't find anything about compacted math selection criteria because then parents might be able to hold the district accountable, and because selection criteria varies by school -- a school that needs to fill out a class will let students who, in another school, [b]would never be let in because their scores are too low.[/b][/quote]

...and that applies whether it is a school with few centrally recommended aiming to create a single manageable class or a school with many centrally identified aiming to create two (or more).  It's more about whether the school is near the next class-sized set and has reasonable candidates at the cusp to achieve completion without making terribly lopsided numbers in classes of Math 4 vs. classes of Math 4/5 or having to employ a shared virtual model with another school.

The current central recommendation criteria might be available from the MCPS Accelerated & Enriched Instruction (AEI) or Elementary Math Curriculum offices.  If someone calls to ask or reviews related presentations to the BOE (main body or Committee on Special Populations), posting that information or a found link here might be appreciated.

The individual schools' decisions would come some time after the central recommendation.  Speaking with the principal, math specialist andŕor GT Liaison might provide insight as to their preferred approach, but note that it would be difficult to provide anything concrete until they see the central recs.[/quote]
