[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We got our results on the 17th via email.  Daughter scored in the 96th percentile.  She's definitely good at math but has always just missed pass advanced on her math SOLs by about 3-5 points so that may be what holds her back in terms of "officially" making the cutoff.

However, I am not sure I want her in Algebra Honors as a 7th grader due to the difficulty of later math classes.  She has no idea what she wants to do when she grows up (though she has expressed some interest in science careers) so I just don't know what pushing her so early is worthwhile.  I find these threads very enlightening and would love to hear from more parents who DID take Algebra 1 Honors in 7th and how they're doing now later on down the line.[/quote]

Your daughter sounds a bit like my 7th grader. She either had PA by a few points, or missed it by a few points in prior years. I told her that unless she had a SOL of above 550, we won't consider Algebra 1. So, she brought home a 565, and is in Algebra 1 now. So far, so good. Her grade in the class is something like a 98.

FWIW, English has been much more difficult than math.[/quote]
