[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the posters interested, I have a daughter in middle school with friends at Chapin, Spence and Brearley. They literally cover the exact same material.[/quote] We've looked at this *a lot* and the only schools that seem to go noticeably beyond the standard 7th grade pre-Algebra / 8th grade Algebra I track for math (which was also the standard track 30 years ago when we were all in middle school) are Dalton, Horace Mann (if you take + pass the skip-a-grade exam before 6th grade), and Speyer. A number of schools that don't offer AP exams and hence don't have a specific set of things they need kids to get through by the end of 11th grade do it in a sort of blurry nebulous way, where there's no explicit honors track and you can move up/down every year but some kids get through all of Algebra I in 8th grade and some kids only get through 2/3 of it and it doesn't matter because they've learned the bits they need for 9th grade math.[/quote]
