There are a few kids that are taking it. Most of them started in algebra in 6th skipping 7/8. I did hear of one case where the child skipped geometry and went straight to Algebra 2.


Thank you very much! Are those kids taking it at their HS?


Yeah I don't think they offer it at Tilden so they just get bused to wj.

I know a rising 8th grader that just took Alg 1 and Geom in 7th. He'll be taking Alg 2 in 1st period at his future HS then busing to MS for 2nd and the rest of his day. He also scored over 300 on his MAP-M. Sharp kid.

I cannot imagine they skipped geometry. They probably did it over the summer or another time.


You are correct. Geometry is a MD state graduation req.

My son's bff took geometry and algebra 2 in 8th grade at an MCPS MS. He took IM in 6th, Algebra in 7th then geometry and algebra II in 8th. This is at a MS co-located with a HS so no need to worry about transportation. OP, there are going to be a million answers to your questions, but the one thing you can always count on in MCPS is that there is little consistency.

Its not just the W schools. Either the middle school offers it or the kids have to go to the high school to do it.

Taking algebra 2 in 8th grade? How about other W schools?
