[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did some quick searching on DCC schools, and then added other schools I could think of. This information can't easily be found on all schools' websites. What I think is strange is how they use slightly different names for all these classes. Looks like lots of DCC schools not offering AIM.

Wow, thanks for putting this together. This is an eye opener to the inequalities at MCPS. I can’t believe I actually believed that the curriculum would be the same throughout MCPS and it didn’t really matter which school we were in.[/quote]

Stop hyperventilating! Both AIM and IM lead to Algebra in grade 7. So, all but four in this list have an *announced* path to get to algebra in 7th grade. The other four have an announced path to get to algebra in 8th. (BTW, Furquhar is not in DCC; So, six out of nine DCC schools have official pathway to get to algebra in 7th.) Usually these classes are based on demand, and there are always exceptions. I know kids in DCC who got accelerated outside the officially announced paths because they were above grade level.

Curriculum IS the same all over.
