[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every year they lower the score for being in Math 7 in 6th grade. I think it’s because DCPS has decided that they want all 8th graders to take Algebra. That probably means the Math 7 class will become slower to accommodate the average rather than above-average math student.[/quote]

Depressing. Thanks for spelling that out.

Looks like 2025-26 iReady placement charts are here in the first report. Looking at the overall math placements quickly, it appears that DCPS has chosen the 7th grade cut off(500) to be "Early 6th grade." The policy states the 8th grade cut off is the 8th grade cut off...i-Ready's version or the seemingly weakened DCPS version? The 7th grade classes for 6th graders with kids who score 500-574(what looks like end of 7th) will be huge, with a matching huge disparity. Approximately 2 grade ranges (early 6th to late 7th) in one class? I would think they'd have to use some discretion to place kids already in EOY mid to upper 7th into 8th. If anyone has a different understanding, please share!
