2025-2026 Math Placement
All incoming fifth graders are placed in the same level math class; however, based on teacher recommendation, we offer enriched sections of math in sixth, seventh, and eighth grades and a modified approach section in eighth grade.
- Enriched Math: Students follow the same curriculum as the other students in their grade; however, the pace is quicker, and the scope and depth of concepts is broader. Movement into the enriched sections is reviewed at the end of each school year.
- Eighth-Grade Modified Approach:;This section follows the same curriculum as the other students at an adjusted pace utilizing a more comprehensive, detailed approach when introducing new concepts.
When making math placement recommendations, we analyze a wide variety of criteria: the end-of-year math inventory, report card grades and feedback, ERB scores, the ability to comprehend new and more abstract concepts, enrichment/bonus (higher level) problems, and comfort with risk-taking. Most students are placed in our already advanced regular sections of math. Math teachers will reach out to families if your daughter is recommended for a sixth, seventh, or eighth grade enriched or modified section in eighth grade.
