"Three schools - Robert Frost, Takoma Park, and White Oak, offer Honors Algebra 2 at their school.
Students in other middle schools must attend a local high school to take that class."[/quote]

This is the thing … I came to know from a friend that almost most kids in Robert Frost in 6 th grade take Algebra 1. The regional elementary for CES recommends all the kids who go to Robert Frost for Algebra 1 but not the children who go to Hoover or CJ even if their Map M is same or higher than the ones zoned to Frost .

When people asked the school …. they were told it’s just because Frost administration is ok with children taking Algebra 1 in 6 th but not others. So for other schools criteria is really higher and only may be a few kids get to take Algebra in 6 th . But  in Frost it’s 70-80 kids take it and almost majority of 8th graders will be in Honors Algebra 2 . That’s why using MAP scores to determine magnets can’t be validated as all children are not getting the same education. [/quote]
