[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d recommend music as well.  Both of mine are top scorers on the SOL and in class and on the most advanced middle school tracks.  Also, we’re coming from one of the less praised APS schools.  Reading is great.  We never added additional math work.[/quote]
What type of music? Can you please share what the most advanced middle school track is and which elementary school your kids attended? What did you do/which activities did they do outside of school ?[/quote]
The only actual track in APS middle school is math. Students on that track take pre-algebra in 6th, algebra in 7th, and geometry in 8th.

Students can sign up for intensified versions of other classes, but can pick and choose what they want to take as intensified vs regular.  Parents who say their kid is on the most advanced track probably just mean that their kid has signed up for all of the available intensified classes.  But it's not really a track per se, as kids can take what they want.[/quote]

What do you mean there is no track? There is definitely a most advanced math track. It starts in 6th with intensified math 6-7-8, Algebra intensified in 7th, Geometry intensified in 8th and so on with kids reaching AP pre calc sophomore year, AP calc BC junior year and DE multivariable calc senior year. Kids can hop off at any time and many do, but this is the most advanced math track and it definitely exists.

APS now also offers intensified in other subjects too in middle school. [/quote]
