[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are new to MCPS; the kid is strong in math, entering fifth grade. We are in a W high school pyramid. What kind of math in fifth grade leads to Algebra 1 in sixth grade, assuming there is such path? What types of math tracks are available in fifth grade and how do kids qualify for those?[/quote]
You're in the right pyramid which will make this easier. Some ES offter AIM in 5th which will lead to Algebra in 6th. O[b]ther MS like Frost will allow any student who scores 250+ on their MAP-M to take Algebra in 6th.[/b] If you honestly believe your child is ready, I'd reach out to their school MS councilor. At some schools you will need ask or even push to make this happen, but W feeders are typically receptive unlike many other areas in the county.[/quote]

I guess being in the right neighborhood works well for advanced kids. We are not in the Frost neighborhood, kid has a 260 in MAP-M, is not challenged in class, plays Roblox when sibling is doing homework at home. I reached out to the counselor and waiting to see what they say.[/quote]
