I have only heard of bussing for kids going to AMP7 or Algebra. No this is not worth it.

Is it still worthy to do it? Either track will not prep him to take A1 at 6th grade.


Nah, no point in doing it.

If he's not taking algebra sooner, I don't see how it is worth it. He'll end up on the same track anyway for a lot of shuffling around.

I'd let my child choose but I don't understand why they will bus some kids and not others for classes they need/want.

Yeah this doesn't make sense. Is there a reason that this was offered?

I would not do this. Too much disruption and as you point out, you end up taking algebra in 7th anyway.
