[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In FCPS, thousands of students are done with Geometry in 8th grade. However, students interested in STEM complete Algebra 2 by 8th, is what we u understood from our counselor. [/quote]

If you complete Geometry in 8th you can still be on track to take multivariable calculus (calc III)/linear algebra in 12th, which is perfectly fine for most STEM programs.[/quote]
Thanks for your input, but we'll get advice from our counselor on accelerated math. [/quote]

That's weird considering that the majority of TJHSST students have always been kids that took geometry in 8th grade.  Perhaps he overstated or you misunderstood.[/quote]
According to the Fairfax County Association for the Gifted, under a hundred freshman TJ kids enter having completed Algebra 2, about three hundred with Geometry, and since the 2021 admissions change about 160+ are admitted with Algebra 1.  [/quote]

Before 2021, even more of the entering class took geometry in the 8th grade.[/quote]
