[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For math-talented kids, never. That's the problem with acceleration. It misses the point. Your child should get enrichment or pursue other non math interests. [/quote]

we live in the DCC acceleration beyond Algebra in 7th [b]wasn't an option[/b] unlike WPES but DC is a sophomore at SMCS taking magnet equivalent of Calc BC and almost never studies[/quote]

I don't know of any MCPS school where Alg 1 in 6th is offered as a public option. Parents need to ask the math coordinator at their school to do a placement test for their kid. Since very few families know about this (MCPS does its best to not tell anyone), it usually happens by word of mouth - which is why it happens at very few schools. I don't know what WPES is or how they do it over there, but at Westland MS (Bethesda), a few kids took Alg 1 in 6th. They tested in the summer before 6th grade. [/quote]

Several WPES offer AIM or higher in 5th. DC had a few 6th graders from WPES in their Honors Geometry class at TPMS.[/quote]
