Our school district's highest math track is:

5th grade regular math
6th grade advanced math (I assume this is pre-algebra)
7th grade algebra
8th grade geometry

Then if you don't make it into that, you have a chance for Algebra in 8th grade, or the regular track of taking Algebra in 9th grade. ETA: There is regular 6, 7, 8th grade math in the regular track.

There are apparently several tests and factors for placement, but I do not understand them yet.

Have you read the middle school handbook for your school district. It is probably available online, or you can request a copy. It may have the procedures written into it.
