[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]VA DOE SOL scores show 210 8th graders took the Algebra II SOL, 100% passed. Loudoun County had 167 8th graders take the Algebra II SOL with a 94% pass rate.[/quote]

Is 210 the entire amount of 8th graders in fcps that took algebra II?[/quote]

There were 210 8th graders who took the Algebra II SOL, there may be kids who took the class and not the SOL. Still, not that many and a large percentage of those will be kids who took summer Geometry because only 30 kids had Algebra 1 in 6th grade. I am a bit surprised that that many kids take summer geometry but it looks like at least 180 kids across the County. [/quote]
it is ironic that FCPS provides summer geometry for acceleration but not Algebra 1 for 6th graders.  So instead of providing the progression of Algebra 1 in 7th, Geometry in summer, Algebra 2 in 8th, it would be better if FCPS students were allowed to take full year of each math level, as in Algebra 1 in 6th, Geometry in 7th, and Algebra 2 in 8th, which is what LoCo provides as an option and it has been quite successful.
