[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What if my DS does not score enough to get into Algebra 1 in 7th grade? Is there a second chance or another way to get into maths honors?[/quote]

Then it is not a good fit. 
Even if they just clear the threshold I would not have them take it; I think the class is really designed for kids that ace the Iowa test [/quote]

This. Don't push your kid into a class they can't handle or badger a teacher to sign off on it if the test indicates they don't have the chops. Middle school is hard enough.[/quote]

+1000.  The IAAT is not a high bar at all.  If your child doesn't earn a high enough score on IAAT, then that child needs another year of pre-algebra before jumping in on algebra.  There are kids in my kid's algebra class who have some fundamental misunderstandings of how to manipulate numbers.  They might slog through algebra, but they'll eventually struggle in geometry or algebra II.  Don't put your kid in that position.  [/quote]
