[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This claim sounds to be as valid as the poster who was saying that Loudoun County has 200 6th graders in Algebra 1 when the SOL scores show 30 kids in Algebra 1 in Loudoun.

It looks like this poster was assuming this is the same number as algebra 2 in 8th grade.[/quote]
That's correct. Upto 200 students complete Algebra-2 in 8th grade, of them significant number complete Algebra 1 in 6th and rest majority take summer geometry. Even in Loudoun, URM kids are not aware of this acceleration path, which also needs to be addressed from an equity perspective.  [/quote]

There is a test to get into prealgebra given in 5th grade.  Teachers recommend who should take this test, and parents are sent notification that anyone can opt in to this test.  Highest scorers have option to take algebra in 6th.  I don't know if this is notified to all parents at every school, but heard that Rosa Lee Carter did so.  Even then, the numbers at Stone Hill are not that high.[/quote]
