Math Considerations
Students will be placed in 6th grade Math unless they
indicate an interest in taking an above-level math course.
(5th grade teacher recommendation with parent input)
7th grade Math or possibly even 6th grade Algebra could be
an option for some students: These options are only
appropriate for extremely accelerated mathematics
students. Because these students will be skipping grade
level math content, a testing procedure could be
necessary.
