[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, if your child is not an AP kid, which it sounds like, ignore the AP posts.  MCPS calls some regular classes honors to make parents happy.  Einstein is a good choice, I'd just worry about the math piece.  MCPS is a mixed bag before covid and now during.  We are barely getting any education and will be basically homeschooling over the summer, especially math as there has been very little the past few months.  But, its very school and teacher specific as some schools/teachers are really going above and beyond and some are doing the absolute minimum.[/quote]

Hopefully, since it's 16 months away he'll be there in person.

I don't know if he's an "AP kid" but he definitely won't be an "AP freshman", if that makes sense.

Algebra 1 is one class, though.  If it's terrible, we'll get a tutor.  He'll come in in a good place, because we have the time to make sure his preAlgebra is really solid, and we have an online tutor now that we got because he's home due to covid and bored so we figured why not.  A year of math tutoring is cheaper than private school.

But after the first year, he'll be in a classroom with 9th graders who took Algebra 1 in 8th right?  So the concerns people are expressing disappear?
