[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I received the email below this morning from FCPS. And it does not say anything about removing Algebra 1 from middle school.  Stop coming on here and giving false information.

[b]Helping students to complete Algebra 1 by eighth grade is part of our Strategic Plan (Goal 3: Academic Growth and Excellence). The Algebra Access Network Improvement Community (AANIC) is [u]working to increase the diverse representation of students who take advanced math classes and succeed in them[/u]. Learn more about the AANIC cohorts at Kilmer and Key middle schools and hear students explain why algebra matters to them.[/b]

Passing Algebra 1 earlier allows students to take more advanced classes like Dual Enrollment courses, Advanced Placement (AP), and International Baccalaureate (IB) courses. These advanced courses help students succeed in college. A recent study from the Northwest Evaluation Association (NWEA) found that completing Algebra 1 by eighth grade led to 30% more ninth graders and 16% more 11th graders taking advanced courses.
