Eh- not necessarily. There is a huge difference in teachers. My niece also got a 99% and 600 on the Sol. Her teacher was very strict. She felt it was a high school class and appropriately treated it that way. My kid took it at the same time but at a different school. One teacher gave weekly quizzes, grades homework, had lots of questions on tests, frequent tests, gave partial credit, had extra credit chances, etc. One did not.  One gave tests where the hugest grades were in the low 80s. One did not. If my kid took a test and had 30 questions in it and missed 2, she still did ok but if my niece missed 2 questions and there were 10 on the test, she didn’t do well. There were many kids who did very well on the Amc testing and in MathCounts and still struggled with this algebra teacher. The one good thing is that she’s gone from Fcps now! [/quote]

That's kind of the point.  Can you imagine how difficult or impossible this Algebra class would have been for a child who isn't great at math and didn't make the 91% benchmark?  For kids like your niece and PP's kid with the 99% scores, Algebra can range from easy to challenging, based on the teacher.  For a kid with scores below 91%, the same classes would range from challenging to impossible.  [/quote]
