[quote=Anonymous]This is kind of crazy to me. [i]In prior years, typically around 30 students across all 142 FCPS elementary schools took Algebra 1 in sixth grade. This year, more than 700 students are doing so, either by attending a class in their own elementary school or by taking a virtual class if the number of participating students at their base school isn’t enough for a full classroom.[/i] And it's only 1/3 of FCPS elementary schools offering it this year. They are going to have to find some more math classes to offer in high school. Won't these kids run out of math classes junior year? What if they end up not wanting to take Calculus (no way does every 6th grader taking algebra know they will continue an interest in high level math)? Are there other options to continue taking math all 4 years of high school - which I think colleges want to see. I know about AP statistics, Calc AB and Calc BC. What else is there beyond Algebra 2?
