When my kid was in ES, 50% (2 of 4 classes) were compacted math. I don't know what was the cut off though.

Isn't it 210ish in winter? That is 85%ile. Or each school has different cut-off?
Does anyone else know if this is right? Are there kids at or above this level who were not recommended for Math 4/5?
85%ile "locally normed" is for 6th grade magnet lottery.
85%ile nationally normed (MAP 210) would be at the very low end for acceleration, subject to parent/teacher discretion and commitment to work hard to stay on track
For context, 10% of students nationally (90%ile) reach AP Calculus, which would mostly be AMP 6+, AMP 7+, then Algebra 1 in 8th, which gets the low end of Compacted 4/5, 5/6 students and the high end of non-Compacted students.

How would you suggest advocating for algebra in 6th if starting compacted in 4th?
I wouldn't. Let your kids be kids. If they are really math geniuses that will be evident later. Don't set your kids up for a miserable HS experience.
Being stuck in unnecessary remedial classes is a miserable experience too.
