[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think previous poster needs to realize that kids in CM are on track to take AP Calculus  in 11th grade. Non CM is on track to take it in 12th grade. Calculus is part of the MCPS curriculum.

Students have the option to take AP Statistics instead of Calculus after finishing pre-calculus. [/quote]

NP.  Is it a requirement in MCPS that all students need to take Calculus (or statistics) in order to graduate?  Are there different tracks of calculus, or of grade-level math in general?

For example, I imagine that even for those kids that are not in CM, that there are some that are fast learners and could use some enrichment, as well as some who are barely keeping up or performing below grade level.  Is there any sort of tracking in ES or MS for non-CM students...similar to how there are various levels of reading groups (not just one super-accelerated group and then everyone else)?  I am a bit worried that now that all of the highest achievers will be pulled out for CM, that my DC might be stuck in a class where the teacher is spending the majority of the time trying to help the kids that are really struggling to even be at grade level.[/quote]
