7. How will this impact my child as they transition to Wells Middle School?
Posted by:
We have had discussions with middle school staff regarding this change. As you may or may not know, advanced math selection begins for students entering sixth grade, and numeric averages were a part of the formula for determining placement in the past. However, there are multiple data points used, including teacher recommendation, the score on a local common assessment, and STAR math, to name a few. Also, asking teachers to assess on the report card using specific indicators actually provides more information about specific skills/content knowledge. With all of that said, we believe that there is more than enough objective data to assist us in making an advanced math decision for students entering sixth grade.
