Incoming 7th Grade

  • All incoming 7th graders will be asked to take a placement test to determine what course they will be placed in for the fall.  Students will either be placed in Math 7 or Math 7 Accelerated.
 

New and Returning 8th Grade

  • All returning 8th graders will be placed in the next sequential course.  Math 7 students will go to Math 8.  Math 7 Accelerated students will be placed in Algebra 1 or Math 8 based upon grades and placement test scores. 
 

Note:  Students must have completed either Math 8 or Math 7 Accelerated to be placed into Algebra 1, no exceptions
