Accelerated is a basic term in education. It’s not a buzzword. It’s been around for decades.

https://nagc.org/page/glossary
[i]Acceleration 
A strategy of progressing through education at rates faster or ages younger than the norm. This can occur through grade skipping or subject acceleration (e.g., a fifth-grade student taking sixth-grade math).[/i]

Red state definition

[i]Acceleration refers to the practice of
presenting curriculum content earlier
or at a faster pace.
There are many different ways to
accelerate the curriculum. These op-
tions offer the flexibility needed to help
meet the individual needs of gifted
students:
• acceleration in one or more subject
areas
• grade skipping
• Advanced Placement programs[/i]

This has been rejected by the board, and the superintendent was let go for putting out reports like the above.

FCPS now encourages students to take algebra in middle school itself, so that AP Calculus is an option in High School following normal math progression.  There is nothing accelerated about it.  Accelerated would mean student going beyond AP Calculus, and does dual enrollment math courses.
