The cutoff is 91%.

If your kid can quickly understand concepts, they will do fine. You have to understand it is a high school course. Homework and review are needed to get an A.

I think this would require taking geometry at home in 8th grade so that she isn't expected to learn a year's worth of math over the summer. It's also a shame that a student who has already taken algebra and can demonstrate their knowledge would need to retake the class.

This is true but not as bad as you think.

The Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2 sequence is absolutely terrible. You should do both Algebra and Geometry every year.
So you are in good shape to spend school time reviewing easy Algebra 1 for fluency, and spend home time learning Geometry (lots of high-quality low-cost options) before getting summer credit

Many of the top students do this. It's also better, pedagogically, for your student to learn at their own pace first, and use the school pace later for review, instead of jumping ahead in school where now they have a high-stakes commitment to keep up with school pace.

This is a strange way to look at school. Where did this idea come from, that school is not for learning but is only for getting high grades? Teachers teach material, kids don't have to prelearn it. Their parents think they should so they preteach it (either through a class or at the kitchen table). But why?

Because of the reality that math is unfortunately taught extremely poorly in American schools, (FCPS not being that different, outside perhaps a few schools and/or teachers). Many parents who realize this then come to the logical conclusion that kids can learn math at home/via enrichment much more thoroughly. It's a sad situation, but there's no easy fix, it's cultural and would likely take generations to fix the way math is taught in schools.

Math is taught just fine if you look at the advanced cohort. The biggest difference compared to international students is how early other countries track students to the trades and away from math.

Math is taught just fine if you look at the advanced cohort. The biggest difference compared to international students is how early other countries track students to the trades and away from math.

+1.

It's also true that if you move away from the narrative that good teaching can level the ability playing field, you realize that it's OK for an advanced cohort that is (heresy alert) good at math to exist and that some kids are just never going to grasp differential equations, just like my short 4th grader is never going to be Caitlin Clark.

That's very reductive reasoning. Differential equations is simply one of many mathematical subjects that is used in science, engineering, and many other areas of life. One does not even have to be a pure math major to encounter it. Millions of people use it in some form. The comparison to sports (and to a superstar) is completely meaningless. You need to have a higher bar for your child. You really can't predict that they will not be able to understand basic college math at this age; by saying that you are setting them up to live to your expectation.

You can be very successful in life without math above Algebra 2. Only 35% of the US population has a college degree. I would guess that most of the people without a college degree have not had calculus. It is fine for a child to take Algebra in 8th or even 9th grade. Most people don't need calculus and that is ok. We should have calculus classes in HS for the kids who are able to take those classes and want to take those classes. I have a PhD in a social science and have never taken Calculus.

You took statistics which is above Algebra 2.

The vast majority of the 65% of people who don't go to college are not "very successful". For every non college degree holding owner of an HVAC company there are a bunch of struggling HVAC technicians.

I did not have a fourth year of math in high school, it wasn't required and struggled with math. We choose a college that did not require a math class for graduation.

There are many people who are doing well without a college degree, even HVAC techs. Their definition of doing well might be different then yours and that is fine. Lots of blue collar workers are happy with their jobs and where they are in life.

My kid is likely to be in Algebra in 7th grade, he loves math and he did not inherit my learning issues. All signs point to his going into a field that is heavy in math because he genuinely enjoys math. And that makes me very happy. But there is no real reason to push kids into Algebra 1 in 7th grade, it is not going to help them that much.

For the OP, I would say what does your child want? Does she want to take Algebra 1? And do you really think it is the best path for her? I know kids who qualify and they take 7H instead because the kids don't want to be in Algebra in 7th grade. Talk with your child and see if they want to be in the class. Then wait for the SOL scores. But I wouldn't fight to have a child in the class unless they wanted to be in the class.

Your kid is in Algebra 1 HN in 7th grade. good for them, and you are happy about it. You cant leave it there, can you? You have this uncontrollable urge to assume other parents are pushing their kids just because they are in algebra 1 hn?

Because DS is bored with math at school and wants do dive deeper and move more quickly. Is it realy that different then allowing a kid who loves to read to read books above their grade level or a kid who loves music to take lessons outside of school or a kid who loves psorts to play a sport outside of PE? For some reason we have this weird idea that it is ok for kids to be really interested in doing a lot of activities outside of school but once those activities are math or science based people think it is pushy.

Encourage a kid to read or write for fun and all is well. Encourage a kid to do math for fun and you are a tiger parent.

It is easier for schools to deal with advanced readers and writers, you place the child in the top reading group and you allow them to read what they want when they finish their school work. It is harder to deal with a kid who is advanced in math because group work rarely is enough. But that doesn't mean that parents with kids who love math should not support that love. Or that parents with kids who are good at math and bored at school shouldn't find a way to engage their child in math.

You are saying that your DC enjoys math classes and that's why he takes them. But that's not what the PPP is about - it says that it is better pedagogically for a student to prelearn rather than learn in school because school is paced and graded. That's anxiety-speak. It's purely about not trusting schools or your children or their future. It doesn't have anything to do with enjoying math enrichment.

Getting back to OP's question, depends. At my DD's (former) TJ feeder MS, there are plenty of kids that took Algebra I in 7th that missed the cutoff in IAAT, SOL, or both. The parents pushed to get them in.

Whether this is a good idea is an entirely different question. Algebra I is not hard, BTW. It's further downstream that the kids might have problems.
