Current 5th GradersHow students are placed into math for middle school is based on a student’s NWEA score. A student with an overall RIT score of 230 in all subcategories will be recommended to “skip” over 6th grade math
Students will receive a letter in June if they qualify to move into 7th grade math to start middle school

Future Math Placement for Current 6th Grade Students in
7th Grade Math
Students take a series of assessments to determine placement for next year
Rubric scores are used to help determine readiness
for algebra

Students who pass the rubric in 6th grade will
receive a letter by the end of the school year indicating
their recommended placement for the following
year

Assessments Used To Determine Readiness
As a family, you may choose not to pursue this advanced math path, in which case your student
will be placed into 8th grade CMP
![Page 12: Melanie Formosa Jennifer McLaughlin Stephanie Keiles.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649daa5503460f94a97e01/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
If your student qualifies for Advanced Algebra 1 or HonorsGeometry at the middle schoollevel…
Both are rigorous, fast paced, high school courses with daily homework
Things to Consider
![Page 13: Melanie Formosa Jennifer McLaughlin Stephanie Keiles.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649daa5503460f94a97e01/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Both require the completion of the high schools’ midterm and final exams for both semesters
Things to Consider
![Page 14: Melanie Formosa Jennifer McLaughlin Stephanie Keiles.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649daa5503460f94a97e01/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Students are expected to maintain an A or B average in order to advance to the next level the following year
Things to Consider
![Page 15: Melanie Formosa Jennifer McLaughlin Stephanie Keiles.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649daa5503460f94a97e01/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Students should not expect extra time to complete assessments outside of the class hour
Things to Consider
![Page 16: Melanie Formosa Jennifer McLaughlin Stephanie Keiles.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649daa5503460f94a97e01/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Things to Consider
Students should not expect retakes and/or rewrites for assessments at this level
![Page 17: Melanie Formosa Jennifer McLaughlin Stephanie Keiles.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649daa5503460f94a97e01/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Things to Consider Based on previous years, the rubric correctly identifies the mathematical background needed to succeed in the advanced classes, however, commitment and maturity level need to be considered as a family

Things to Consider If a student tests out of 6th grade math and 8th grade math, they are missing all of the Common Core areas in geometry that are still tested on state assessments
Strongly recommend reviewing these concepts at home and/or over the summer
