2. Advanced Math
Students will have the option of taking their class
either in class or online.
All students must report to class on the first day of
summer school (July 1st).
Students taking the online course must take the post
test during the week of July 29th to August 1st.
Online students have the option of coming to class
for assistance in math.
3. Advanced Math I
For rising 6th grade students – students who completed
advanced math at the 5th grade level and not enrolled in
the IB program.
Students must have scored a minimum of 1630 on the
Algebra Readiness Diagnostic Test (ARDT), have a B or
higer grade, and be recommended by their teacher to be
eligible for enrollment.
Successful completion of Advanced Math I will allow
students to take 7th or 8th grade math as a 6th grade
student.
4. Advanced Math I continued
Students must score a minimum of 1770 to be placed
in advanced math (7th or 8th )
Borderline students may be retested at the discretion
of the math specialist.
Parents will be notified of the grade level their
children will be placed in for the upcoming school
year (2013-2014).
5. Advanced Math II
For rising 7th grade students who have successfully
completed 6th grade math class.
Students must have scored 1730 or higher, have
grade B or higher, and receive teacher
recommendation to be considered for the Advanced
Math II class.
Successful completion of Advanced Math II will
allow students to take 8th grade math or Algebra I as
a 7th grade student.
6. Advanced Math II continued
Borderline students may be retested at the discretion
of the math specialist.
Parents will be notified of the grade level their
children will be placed in for the upcoming school
year (2013-2014).
Please ensure that your contact information (phone,
address, and/or email) is up to date and accurate.
