Remind me — is 8th grade honors math Algebra I?
In FCPS, 8th graders can take Algebra I Honors, regular Algebra I, or Math 8 (which is pre-algebra).

Also, some kids may not be emotionally mature enough to fully grasp the relationship between high school grades and college admissions. Algebra I grades go on a high school transcript.

“Aiming for 7th grade Algebra is silly. Putting your child in 7th grade algebra because that is the most appropriate placement for your child is totally reasonable ”

DD got a 99. No prep or outside math classes. She really likes math and seems to get it quickly. BUT we are still not sure yet if Algebra 1 will be a good fit or not. I definitely would not try to prep a kid to put a thumb on that scale - I think that does not set kids up for success in math.
