[quote=Anonymous]I think the MAP score is the only objective measure they have. My DC’s compacted 4/5 doesn’t allow any retakes of assessments so there isn’t consistency across the county with grading. He has B’s which are fine with me, but that is without retaking anything. An A at one school is not the same at another. I’m also fine with him doing Math 5 next year. His MAP percentile went from the 90th to 80th over the course of this year so I know there are gaps to fill. I hope that they keep the criteria consistent and don’t bend to parental pressure. With a more rigid criteria, there will be many students not moving on, so those who don’t get into 5/6 won’t feel singled out  that they couldn’t handle the increased pace. This will also have more high achieving kids in Math 5 which will lead to more enrichment. And thank you to the posters pointing out that calculus in 12th is a fine path for most kids. I didn’t realized that staying in the compacted track would mean calculus in 11th. [/quote]
