[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC is in 3rd grade and going through testing. Don't know the results just that DC is being tested.

My older one took algebra 2 in eighth grade and third grade was before all this compact math testing was done. DC did math6 in fifth grade. In middle school, all kids were discouraged to take algebra 1 in 6th grade and were persuaded to do IM. DC was bored in IM and then on request was put in algebra 1 where DC performed very well.

However during magnet testing for high school, there are students from DCs class who are still in geometry and not in algebra 2 and are selected in Blair. Whereas my DC is on waitlist.

The point I want to make here is that they can be stars at STEM Blair without being fast paced on algebra 2 while in middle school or in compacted math in 4-5th grade. 
If a child is bright and parents are involved at every step, he/she is bound to do good during the ES or middle school. [/quote]

My child and friend applied Blair last year.  My son was in geometry.  Other child was in Algebra II (and did quite well).  They were both placed in the same pre-calc at Blair..[/quote]
