Current Secondary Math Pathways

UC Qualified with No Acceleration

Junior High Pathways

Regular Pathway

Options for Junior High Accelerated Students in High School

• 1. Move to non‐accelerated pathway
• 2. Move to high school accelerated pathway

Criteria: B‐ or higher for both semesters of 8th

9th 10th 11th 12th

Entering Accelerated Pathway in 10th Grade

Criteria: Grade of “A” for both semesters and 90% or above on all district benchmarks.

Proposed Modifications

• Name Change: CC3 changed to Foundational Algebra and

Geometry to reflect course content

• Offer Summer Bridge Class to high performing 7th grade students

to allow students to enter accelerated pathway in 8th grade

– Criteria: Grade of “A” at both semesters and 90% or higher on district benchmarks

Proposed Modifications

• Allow students on non‐accelerated pathway to

take Algebra 2 or Algebra 2/Trig as an elective
