[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here, you can see what schools have it if you scroll down to the math spreadsheet and look at what schools offer Algebra 2, but that is not fully accurate as some schools bus the kids to the local high school.

This must be from before C2.0 since they haven't had Algebra 2 at TPMS in like a decade. [/quote]

At TPMS, kids who went to an ES that offered AIM get bussed to Blair for Algebra 2 because it isn't offered locally for years now. [/quote]

Just a note that there isn't just one on-ramp for Algebra in 6th.

There is taking AIM at your local elementary school in 5th (only an option at one school that I've heard of)
There is taking AIM at a middle school (hit-or-miss depending on the elementary/middle school, but not correlated with income)
Skipping AIM entirely with a sufficiently high MAP score or other pre-Algebra experience

Only the first one is correlated with wealth. The other is just....how is the principal feeling that day. [/quote]
