Accelerated Math:

Placement in the accelerated course will be determined by the student’s junior high school and requires one of the following sources of evidence: 

1.       Student may complete a digital portfolio that includes a mindset inventory, a student essay, a parent essay, and video responses to tasks. This portfolio is reviewed by a district committee and scoring is used to inform junior high schools as placement decisions are made. Interested students should complete this online form. Students will then be enrolled in a Canvas course through which all items will be submitted. This invitation will arrive in your student’s district-issued email account inbox.

2.       Student may complete the CogAT assessment. Scores are used to inform junior high schools as placement decisions are made.  Interested students should complete this online form. Students will participate in the exam at the Assessment Department office and will be notified of available dates and times. 

Additional considerations 

- Students desiring to accelerate math courses should be planning a career in a field that requires higher level math and are appropriately ready for the responsibility of directing much of their own study.
