[quote=Anonymous][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]

Do you understand that you can look at the SOL page for the state of Virginia and see how many kids took the Algebra 1 SOL in 6th grade, in Loudoun County, and see that the total number was 30. The Algebra 1 SOL is the SOL that all the kids taking the class are most likely to take so they can use it as a verified credit toward graduation.

30 kids took the Algebra 1 SOL in 6th grade for Loudoun County.

There are a good number of kids who will take Geometry the summer of 7th grade in order to take Algebra 2 in 8th grade, but only 30 of the Algebra 2 kids in 8th grade took Algebra 1 in 6th grade.

[b]This is not an attempt to block URM from taking Algebra 1 in 6th grade[/b], it is not readily available to any group. [/quote]
On one hand there is a respectable student strength of Algebra 1 in 6 grade, but no presence of URMs. Where is equity in advanced math?[/quote]
