Allowed in Potomac area schools because "every" student is on the world standard math track.

You can skip any math class if you're at a WPES.

When DC was in 3rd and scored over 250 on their map-m I asked but was told that wasn't allowed at our school.

No one cares about bragging. Why do you need to know what level another kid is in? The math is embarrassingly dumbed down for highly able students.

They can? Not everyone gets to smcs! Duh.

This. The obsession with insane math acceleration in this county knows no end it seems.

It's because our math curriculum is massively dumbed down versus other countries. It's not acceleration in a global context.

Let me know if you ever find facts supporting this claim.

Some people enjoy learning math and don't enjoy private pay.

I know someone who did this who is really a math genius. He attended AIM virtually in 5th and then started Algebra 1 in middle school. It is almost certainly school dependent, so check with your school, OP.
