Math Placement (Intermediate School)

Students who successfully complete a non-accelerated or non-honors course with a C or better will be recommended for the next course in sequence.  Students earning lower than a C should discuss the next course options with the teacher and counselor.

 

Recommendations for accelerated and honors courses will be determined by meeting any two of the three criteria for students in grades 5-8.  The site recommendations will be completed for each student in the spring prior to registration or placement for the following school year.  Students who do not meet the criteria for the accelerated or honors course in grades 5-8 may complete a Request for Placement form with the school counselor.
