[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP - I mean name a low income school without a magnet program or special programs that offers Algebra 1 for 6th grade[/quote]

They have been named before.  They are down county.  Why don't you believe it happens?  Its the lottery school that do it to get the kids to come to their schools to boost the test scores.[/quote]

In MCPS it's incredibly important to distinguish between "continuing on a track once already joined", which is supported everywhere, vs "skipping a grade level in math" which is only supported in WPES/MS.

If you somehow found a way to break into a higher level math due to a generous principal, no MCPS school will kick you off that track later (unless you are failing). Getting into the higher level track is the hard part (outside WPES/MSwho will up kids from Math 5/6 in 5th to Algebra in 6th).

Even the very acceleration/skip friendly WPES has been known to force extremely  advanced ES kids who transfer from out of state to repeat on-level math from previous year/school. [/quote]
