• District Student Selection

    The district determines and creates a list of eligible students based on the following criteria:
    •State test scores in math of 4 or 5 for the prior two years
    •Have mostly As and Bs in all classes
    •Student work ethic and desire to work at a rigorous pace should be considered
    •Other standardized data
    •Must pass the placement test

    Placement Test

    •Students on the district-supplied list will be invited to take the placement test. 
    •Secure test. Administered by a Middle School math teacher or AP
    •Students must score 65% or higher to begin the accelerated program
    •The assessment will be at the beginning of the summer at Rodgers Middle Magnet School (More details to come)

    Results

    • Mid-June. Parents will receive a letter regarding their child's score. They will have a week to determine if they want their child in the accelerated program and sign the participation contract.

    Typical Math Progression:

    • 6th Grade Math -> 7th Grade Math -> Pre-Algebra

    Accelerated Math Progression (for accelerated and Gifted students):

    • 6th Grade Accelerated Math -> 7th Grade Accelerated Math (7/8 grade Math Concepts) -> Algebra I Honors
     
    Double-Accelerated with FLVS Details

    • To double accelerate through FVLS, students must take 6th Accelerated/Advanced Math before beginning 6th grade. This course includes all 6th-grade benchmarks and half of the 7th-grade benchmarks. Students must take and finish the course before 6th grade to be eligible for double acceleration and ensure all the foundational skills are covered.

    • The student will be enrolled in the 7th Accelerated in the Fall as a 6th grader. Half of the 7th and all of the 8th-grade benchmarks are included in this course, and the student will take the Pre-Algebra/8th-grade FAST.

    • In 7th grade, the student would take Algebra 1 Honors and, as an 8th grader, Geometry Honors
