C squared - you are totally right about matching the district numbers. Our district is very low-performing. Our high school is 14th from the bottom in Colorado out of something like 180 schools. It's terrible. I think it would be a good idea to ask at the meeting for the mean NWEA score of the kids entering the 8th grade Algebra 1 class. My guess is that DS10's score of 247 is at least within that range, if not above. Does anyone see an advantage of having DS10 take the AoPS Algebra 1 course online AND the 8th grade Algebra 1 class, or is that too repetitive? My guess is that the course at school will move a bit slow for him and maybe the AoPS one would be good as a supplement to compact some of the ideas - but I don't want to overkill
