Cee needs to find out what this class covers. But I really doubt a 7/8th accelerated class is one that intends to finish a full Algebra I & Geometry class. Or that the principal would be suggesting a 6th grader take a test to jump over both of these classes.

Yes, principal is suggesting to take the test to see what his proficiency is before going in. Past several years msth has been slow and he never needs drawn out reviews and worksheets. Principal would not want to see the same thing happen in the 7/8 class. I will ask to come in and see the book. I need him challenged so he stays interested and engaged.
