[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone know if there is a way to take a class over the summer or test into Algebra 2? My DS just told me he wants to do the same move from Honors to AAP and I am concerned it's too late in the year to switch [/quote]

I am trying to understand where your child is. You do not test into Algebra 2, you have to complete Algebra 1. The path in FCPS is Algebra 1, Geometry, then Algebra 2. You might be able to take Algebra 1 and then Algebra 2, that is what I did in the 80's but I was an exception at my school and it was allowed because I had an IEP that focused on Math. They wanted me to take the Algebra classes back to back so I would retain more of Algebra 1 for Algebra 2 and I was not taking Honors.

Math in FCPS MS is not an AAP class, it is a seperate line. There is no moving from Honors into AAP Math. There is a process for taking Algebra 1 Honors in 7th grade but that starts in 6th grade. Kids have to pass advanced on the 7th grade SOL (taken in 6th) and score in the 91rst percentile or higher on the IAAT.

I doubt that your child would be able to move into Algebra 1 H if your child is in Math 7 Honors in MS. THey will have missed a full quarter of work in a high school class. If your child is in Algebra 1 H right now and wants to take Algebra 2 H next year they could take Geometry Honors over the summer, although most people recommend against that because it is a very condensed course.

Did FCPS ever have AAP math in MS so the choice for AAP kids that did 7th grade math in ES wasn’t to skip 8th grade math or do 7th grade math again?[/quote]
