Subject: how many 6th graders are taking Algebra I at Rachel Carson MS?
For a math smart kid, how does the school decide that a 6th grader is eligible to take algebra I ? Does it start earlier in 5th grade itself ? Does the kid take 6th grade SOL in 5th grade ? How is that decided ?

Yes, Carson has Algebra 2 in 8th, enough enrollment for multiple classes, because some take Geometry during the summer between 7-8th grade.
There are 10 6th graders taking Algebra 1 Honors at Carson from McNair and Hunters Woods. They are in a class where the rest of the students are 8th graders. And no I am not pushing my child to do anything DC doesn't want to do or was my idea.
WTF for? This is absolute craziness! Poor kids. Do you make them wear their pants pulled above their belly button and horn-rimmed glasses to? I imagine they probably don't have time to wash that greasy hair either.
Stop judging other people just because your kids aren't smart enough and it's out of your poor imagination. I've seem 6th grade kids who took Algerabra 1 Honors fully enjoyed it. They were not poor at all. Instead, they'd be poor if they weren't given the opportunity.
sounds as though a little nerve was touched. feeling guilty? you should!
No. My feeling is not nearly as fragile as yours. Not even close. Just surprised people can be so narrow-minded just because they lack the experience.
Did you come from Alabama?
No MIT!
or sorry you probably don't know where that is.

All the 6th graders appear to be adjusting well as far as grades go.
Not unusual for 8th graders at Carson to take Algebra 2 at 8th grade. Unusual would be the ones who take precalc while in 8th grade - they have to go to HS for classes
High school sequence would be:
Precalc
Calc BC (Stats AP as elective)
Multivariable Calc
Linear Algebra
Multivariable Calculus and Linear Algebra are semester courses and would be taken junior year in the sequence. So what do they take senior year?
A dual-enrollment course of interest either at GMU or at NOVA.

they can take differential equations dual enrollment at GMU through fcps just like the acceletated TJ kids do
TJ kids take complex variables, differential equations, AMT, probability theory, cryptology etc. at TJ after multi and linear.
Still doesn't answer the question. What about other High Schools. TJ isn't for everyone- even math wizards.

So, they have to schlep to GMU for one class? I would imagine TJ might have enough for a class at TJ, but not for the other HS.
