[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wouldn't most of the kids coming in with Algebra I in the old system take RS1 and TJ Math 1, and then not be eligible to take the geometry SOL since they only finished half of geometry?

For the class of 2025, it is known that 161 students were admitted with only Algebra I.  Most of those aren't appearing anywhere in the SOL data for their 9th grade year.  [/quote]

The SOL numbers do not bare this out. Only 28 students took the Geometry SOL last year. There are three explanations.

1) A lot of students chose not to take the SOL 
2) A lot of students transferred back to their base school
3) Fewer then 161 students with Algebra 1 were admitted.

I am guessing that it is a combo of 2 and 3 but that the number of students selected with Algebra 1 was closer to 50.[/quote]
SOL reports show that 98 kids in the class of 2025 took the Geometry SOL in 10th grade[/quote]

I saw that as well, which was baffling to me. Algebra 1 is required to attend TJ so there is no reason for there to be that many kids, technically any kids, taking Geometry in 10th grade.

Those kids took half of Geometry (TJ math 1) and research stats 1 in 9th grade, and then the other half of geometry (TJ math 2) + algebra II (TJ math 3) in 10th.  So they had to wait until 10th to take the SOL.  [/quote]
