[quote=Anonymous][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 [b]TJ, because they clearly need more then is offered at the vast majority of the schools[/b] in the US.  [/quote]
TJ welcomes advanced students as they went through great lengths creating post AP DE advanced math courses. Are you saying these advanced courses are for 8th grade Algebra 1 students? [/quote]
