[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid met a child who is in Calc BC in 8th grade at Takoma Park Middle School.  What is the path to get there?  It would mean Algebra 1 in 4th grade (?) Doubling up of classes?  Im so curious.  How would a kid get there?[/quote]

One of my children is at TPMS and on the math team. They only know of a few kids who took AIM in 5th at wealthy schools that offered it to their students. These kids take Algebra 2 in 8th, but the school accepts this but does not encourage this.[/quote]

Does he know this kid who took algebra in 4th?  That is the track one would be on to take AP calc BC in 8th. 
I'm the OP.  My kid is in private school and met this kid who came for an accepted students day.  There is no way that the private can handle this level of advancement.  They offer one class beyond calculus.
I hope he/she has or will get a magnet high school spot.  It sounds like he/she is a math genius!  [/quote]

I suspect this kid went to Feynman for elementary. Profoundly gifted in math. Did amazing on National Math Exam for HS upperclassmen in 4th/5th grade. [/quote]
