We got a letter saying that DC can take a math reasoning test. If scored high enough,  then take Iowa test for qualification for Honors Algebra. Is it different requirements for different schools?

[quote=Anonymous]this all seems very random.  My third child to reach 5th grade (this year), Colvin Run ES, brought a letter home saying that since she received 600 on some previous math SOL, she was eligible to take IAAT and 7th grade math SOL and who knows what other screening test to see if Algebra I Honors in 6th grade was an option.  There would be no transportation to first-period Algebra at Cooper MS, you're on your own. (carpool??) Two older children did not have this option.  Definitely principal-driven program.

I'm okay with this academically, but socially I'm not sure my child would enjoy trying to learn in a room full of (mostly) 8th graders who would ignore her or worse.  My 8th grader at Kilmer mentioned he has some 6th graders in his Algebra class, and they are not greeted warmly to say the least.

Too bad they can't have a pull-out at elementary schools if there is enough interest.[/quote][/quote]
