MCPS says that the following math classes are under 2.0 in 2013-2014:

Kindergarten, Math 1, Math 2, Math 3, Math 4, Math 5, Algebra 1.

Math 6 and Geometry in 2014-2015, Math 7/IM and Algebra 2 in 2015-2016, Math 8 and Pre-calculus in 2016-2017.

Since Algebra 1 in 8th grade is on-grade-level math under 2.0, Algebra 1 should be (as the PP says) mostly a middle-school class.

Are they deviating from this schedule?[/quote]

I guess Winston Churchill is along with the middle schools that feed there - according to the info. we received at Back to School Night.  Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra 2 all fall into 2.0 this year at these schools.  Perhaps our children are a subtest group.[/quote]

Well there you go - Churchill is so advanced you are getting 2.0 two years before other high schools.  We don't have it at Whitman (except maybe in Algebra 1, but how many Whitman or Churchill kids are taking Algebra 1?)  Enjoy![/quote]

I wouldn't consider it as advancement.  The teachers don't seem to have the training or materials to follow through with the instruction intended.  The result is confusion for teachers and students.[/quote]
