Our districts MS have 3 classes of Math for each grades:
6th grade 7th grade 8th grade
Regular 6 7 8
Accelerated mid 6-7 late 7 and 8 Algebra
TAG mid 7-8 Algebra Geometry
http://www.roundrockisd.org/Departm...ed_round_rock_curriculum/math__gr__6-8_/LA has 2 different classes: Regular and TAG. TAG is more rigorous but there is no clear grade level acceleration. Still, TAG LA will be on track on get AP English III and IV credits. Science and social studies are more vigorous/ enrichment than regular class.
Then again, those acceleration are sort of cookie cutter and it may not fit for everyone. Some kids (especially PG) still need skipping those classes. But the district is pretty good at accomodating (as long as the kiddo can pass the test).
