like compacted/ prealgebra/ algrebra, etc? My ds is starting 4th.

On the most advanced tract, were kids taking compacted math in 4th?


It varies by school. At our school, we had 3 ES classes so 1 class was compacted math. The top 1/3 went into it compacted math. You can still advance your kid in Middle School without being in compacted math. I know families who did this at our school no issue.

Why do people say W feeder all the time? Why is it relevant?


It’s code for “wealthy and white.”


I thought it was code for Thomas Wootton, Winston Churchill, Walter Johnson, and Walt Whitman


Don't forget Wheaton!

Yes, I have two kids in MS in MCPS. One of them has to go to the high school to take a class because there are not enough kids taking the class to offer it in the MS. Do you have kids in MCPS?


You understand that every school runs things differently. And, what happens at your school may or may not happen at another school. We were told it had nothing to do with the number of kids and teacher availability.

Yes, I have two kids in MS in MCPS. One of them has to go to the high school to take a class because there are not enough kids taking the class to offer it in the MS. Do you have kids in MCPS?


What class does s/he have to take in high school? Geometry? Are they the only ones in their MS? That would be weird. If they took algebra in sixth, then you are comparing apples and oranges.


Every MS has Geometry. I've heard of a few kids in MS taking Algebra 2 in HS.
