Criteria seems to be mostly MAP scores and grades. Just have your kid do the best they can and see what happens.
BTW at Poolesville the kids on the highest math track all end up in same Functions class regardless of whether they take Algebra 2 or not.

Poverty level isn’t relevant

Does anyone know if being one of <10 kids taking Alg 2 in 8th grade increases chances? Does Poolesville care about this, or is anything above Algebra in 8th all the same?
Also, will being non-FARMS in a high-FARMS school or vice versa impact chances? I.E., does SMACS care about school FARMS or student FARMS?
