[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The first actual cohorting going forward is precalculus in 6th. If the student doesn't make the cut for that, then the next opportunity is Integrated Algebra 1 in 8th.

Right now, 4th grade is the big acceleration placement year.  Going forward, 4th grade placement doesn't matter and 6th and 8th grade placements matter.   [/quote]

If you mean a separate standalone class then yes - 6th is the first, but it's not just prealgebra. They also have AMP 6+.

But they are saying they are doing cohorting from 3rd-5th and that acceleration will be available, just not in a standalone class. I very much doubt this will happen, which means that very few kids will get into pre-algebra in 6th (only the ones who were accelerated privately).[/quote]

It looks like there is no separate AMP 6+.

There is a Math 6 class where kids with accelerated tag will get some sort of enrichment.  Then there is prealgebra.

So most kids will be in a Math 6 class, and some kids in that class will get some additional material.
