[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For fifth graders in advanced math taking the sixth grade SOL, what score qualifies the kid for pre-algebra in 6th? Is it school dependent?[/quote]

5th graders in Advanced Math should have taken the 5th grade SOL. Each school has its own process for placing kids in 6th grade Advanced Math, there is no set standard. It was rare for kids to be dropped from Advanced Math in 6th grade.

6th graders take the 7th grade SOL, they need to pass advanced to have the option to take Algebra 1 H in 7th grade.[/quote]

[b]I think AAP kids take grade level SOL in 3rd and 4th but starting in 5th, they skip 5th grade SOL and take the 6th SOL, then 6th grade AAP takes 7th grade SOL.[/b] [/quote]

Nope, not all schools.[/quote]

They are supposed to. [/quote]

I don't think that they are. The AAP presentation we saw from the AART specifically said that they skip the 6th grade SOL and that is it. But this is FCPS so some schools do things the way that they want to and County policy is ignroed. We see that with AARTs who help with packets at some schools and in other schools the AART refuses to discuss AAP options for a specific student with parents, never mind look at parent submissions. Some teachers will tell parents they cannot discuss AAP at all while other schools seem to have parent teacher conferences to discuss AAP. Some people sear that Centers cannot principal place kids while some Center schools clearly principal place. Some people claim that all schools have full time AARTs when there are others who know that they have a 1/2-time AART.

I think people think that what happens at their school is what happens elsewhere when the reality is it is school by school.
