[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, thanks for all the responses. I found out the official number is 42/50 kids opted into Algebra 1. To answer how I found out, people love to talk at PTES about everyone else's business hehe. [/quote]

Poplar Tree? I have a younger kid in AAP there. I believe there's a lot of teacher switcharoo going on, I assume in an effort to make this work logistically.

It also appears there'll be some 5th graders taking the course. At least I got that impression from the weekly schoolwide email they sent out a few times last month. [/quote]

I wouldn't be too worried about a school that is wealthy and almost entirely Asian and white having high participation rates in 6th grade Algebra.  The kids will be well supported by their parents and many are probably taking outside enrichment.  I'd be willing to bet that any 5th graders skipping up both have ludicrously high MAP scores and are taking outside enrichment.  I'd be much more worried that the parents at less affluent schools don't understand the implications of jumping up in math.  [/quote]
