[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my experience, they base math placement completely on test scores (& the cut-offs have changed multiple times over the years). They say they talk to the 5th grade math teacher, but I’m skeptical. Just know that APS policy is that you CAN parent place, but they will not tell you this explicitly. We had to fight to get my kid into algebra in 7th (test scores weren’t quite what they wanted), and it went well. Kid is currently doing well in algebra II in 9th. I don’t think extra math classes are necessary, but you could review some things with your child this summer if you’re concerned. [/quote]To what extent does parent placing apply? I assume you can't parent place a 1st grader into prealgebra. Also if parent placing is policy, why did you have to fight to get your kid into 7th grade algebra?[/quote]
