[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone know the reqs for pre-algebra in seventh?  I also wonder when you find out what math your child is in.[/quote]

I don’t think the decision for 7th grade math is as test dependent as the 6th grade recommendation. The teacher recommendation carries more weight.

Last year the placement letter was posted on ParentVUE at the beginning of July.[/quote]

Agree, it's a holistic recommendation. Tests scores are only one factor. [/quote]

Not in our experience… it was all about the MI & SOL cut-offs,  with no regard for how the kid performed in the 6th grade math class. The past few years, they are really trying to limit the number of kids who take algebra in 7th grade. That said, you can try to parent place your kid, which may or may not work. [/quote]

What school and when was this? This was only a few years ago, I think the first year they limited the numbers on the most advanced track and it was most definitely a holistic process based on all factors, not just a cutoff on SOLs and MI. [/quote]
