students with an “A” average

� An 8th grade Algebra I student must:◦ Maintain at least a 90% (B+) average.

◦ Students below the 90% average at the end of 1st

quarter should strongly consider Pre-Algebra for the remainder of the year and take Algebra I as a 9th

grade student

◦ Eighth grade students taking Algebra I are expected to take AP Calculus as a senior

� 8th grade-Pre-Algebra or Algebra I

� 9th grade-Algebra I or Geometry

� 10th grade-Geometry or Algebra II

� 11th grade-Algebra II or Pre-Calculus

� 12th grade-Pre-Calculus or AP Calculus

� All levels will meet the math requirements for admittance to a 4-year college

� Other math option: General Math

There are other science sequences in addition to the two mentioned

� Additional Requirements for acceleration◦ Student is Responsible-� completes homework on time or ahead of time if going to miss class

� Does not wait for teacher to tell student if an assignment is missing due to an absence

◦ Student is Self-motivated-does not need reminding ◦ Student is Respectful-classroom behavior is appropriate to learning

◦ Algebra I and Pre-Chemistry/Pre-Physics are high school classes◦ Algebra I and Pre-Chem/Pre-Phys do not count toward the 3 years of high school math or high school science required for graduation
