The child is zoned for Tilden. What is a CES school?[/quote]

At least with my experience, counselors at Tilden are unwilling to bump kids up to algebra in 6th. DD knows someone who scored 309 on Map M was still denied advanced placement. My DD ended up taking algebra 2 this summer to get on the fastest track.[/quote]

Can you expand on little on summer classes? Is this a real possibility?[/quote]

Yeah, took it through a summer program. She didn't receive credit for it and it won't appear on the transcript but counselor will let her move up to precalc in the fall.[/quote]

That sounds like a really bad idea as the summer classes are no where as good as the regular classes as they are very rushed.  We've done some for prep and no way you can learn it all in 6 weeks.[/quote]

The course was through cty, not mcps summer school and she also went through Khan academy's algebra 2 for extra practice. She's completed the summer homework for students entering precalc and she says she gets the material. [/quote]
