[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This claim sounds to be as valid as the poster who was saying that Loudoun County has 200 6th graders in Algebra 1 when the SOL scores show 30 kids in Algebra 1 in Loudoun.

It looks like this poster was assuming this is the same number as algebra 2 in 8th grade.[/quote]
Unlike in FCPS, loudoun middle school has three grades 6th to 8th, and it's more common for 6th graders to be in Algebra 1. [/quote]

There were 30 kids taking Algebra 1 in 6th grade in Loudoun County. I understand that Loudoun County is smaller then FCPS but it is still rare for a 6th grader to take Algebra 1 in Loudoun County. I believe Loudon County has 82,000 or so students. Assuming an even class size across 13 grades (K-12), there are 6,307 6th graders. That means 0.005% of the 6th graders are taking Algebra 1.

Algebra 1 in 6th grade is a rare event.

And pointing to the few kids who end up in Calculus or Pre-Calc in 9th grade simply points to the fact that it is a rare event. Those students are probably not well served in any public school, even TJ, because they clearly need more then is offered at the vast majority of the schools in the US.  [/quote]
