[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most AAP kids take either

7th grade: Math7 Honors or Algebra 1 H (which is usually all 7th grade students)
8th grade: Algebra 1 Honors or Geometry H

A few very talented/accelerated kids (a handful at each center--which is already only comprised of a handful of kids from each ES) take Algebra 1 H in 6th grade (and on very unusual occasion--like for a math prodigy-- in 5th grade)

A general college prep track might take Algebra 1 H or Algebra 1 in 8th or 9th grade. [/quote]

So an AAP kid who doesn't get into algebra in 7th grade does math 7 honors in 7th and Algebra 1 in 8th?[/quote]

yes.[/quote]

And it seems that this kid can do either Algebra Honors or regular Algebra in 8th. But my question to people is: how does Algebra Honors in 8th compare to the Algebra class that the 7th grader takes? I asked a counselor and he said they were the same but I kind of doubt it.[/quote]

Why do you doubt the counselor?  It's the same class at DC's middle school.  There were 8th graders in the Algebra 1 honors class my DC took in 7th grade.  [/quote]
