[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any chance a student who studies over the summer could take a test in the fall and transfer from 7H to Algebra? [/quote]

You can just call the guidance counselor and say you want your kid in Alg 1 even though they didn’t qualify. I already said upthread that my friend did it. [/quote]

I would ask to do this as well.  If his current (or most recent) 6th teacher can recommend him for it and his test scores with close, I think a reasonable counselor would ok this.  You can ask to have it be probationary for the first 6 weeks with the understanding if the Alg I teacher does not feel his is ready, he can be placed back into the math level below. [/quote]

This is not a thing. I asked to have my DD moved into Algebra at 7th and the hardline response was that if DD not meet the criteria (IOWA & SOL qualifying scores from AAP) there was NO chance. [/quote]

Idk if it varies by school or if my friend was cut a break because of the pandemic. It was two years ago now.[/quote]

It varies by school. Not every school has enough qualified 7th graders to then form geometry classes in 8th. I know two kids last year bumped into Algebra for 7th last year and it looks like the school will have just enough to fill out geometry in 8th next year. They may not be the only ones the school had to offer Algebra to make the numbers work [/quote]
