What schools do this? They are putting kids who have only completed math 5 in AIM, which is 7/8? That definitely goes against the MCPS guidelines.

They do put kids in AIM who took Math 5, but they have to be in magnet pool. My son was not in compact but his MAP score was in 99 percentile. He was put in AIM.

I am a math enthusiast and work with my son. There is no way MCPS can put all kids in AIM. IN fact , many kids who took compact math in 5th grade were not put in AIM. If all kids are asked to take AIM then they will struggle.
