Confirmation at parent/teacher conference today...no Iowa in 6th this year. Everyone who makes passed advanced on SOL will be placed in Algebra 1 in 7th.

The IAAT was not used to determine A1H placement last year so I doubt they will give it this year. They used the SOL and grades to place kids this year. I don’t like the new path, I think the IAAT gave parents additional information about their kids understanding of pre-algebra which was useful in placing kids. If anything, they should be giving it to 5th graders for 6th grade selection.

Is FCPS giving the IAAT this year to 6th graders? Is it being used to determine math placements for 7th grade?
