[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t have any first-hand information, but is anyone aware of changes in selection of students who are eligible for Algebra in 6th grade?

If the information I have is true (big IF), FCPS AAP could have significant increase in the number of students taking this path this school year.

Does anyone have a first-hand knowledge about the process and when schools typically notify parents?[/quote]

Do all 6th grade AAP students qualify or do you have to meet the score criteria?[/quote]

From the email families received:
[quote]Participation in the pilot is based on specific academic criteria. Your child has been identified as a strong candidate for this program because they met the qualifying criteria:

Passed advanced on their Math 6 SOL, indicating a deep understanding of the 6th-grade math standards, including concepts like rational numbers, expressions, and equations, which are all prerequisites for success in Algebra 1.
1125Q quantile on their iReady assessment, suggesting they are ready for more complex content and are showing readiness for Algebra topics.[/quote]

At my child's center school, the teacher said the 6th grade AAP class was pretty evenly split between qualifying and non qualifying students.[/quote]
