Trying to determine the best math placement for your child can be a daunting task. At CHMS, we are focused on helping you and your child make the best placement decision. This page is designed to help you understand the middle and high school math progression. An on grade level math pathway is shown below:
If you feel that your student is ready for an Accelerated option. We offer Honors Math, that shifts the content one grade level up. It is important to note that your student can "JUMP" to the honors pathway any year by selecting honors on their course registration card if they meet the rubric criteria. Learn more about Honors math by clicking here. The benefit of this pathway is that students receive Math 1, a high school course, for a full year instead of a semester.
For students that are well above grade level, we have Math 1 Placement Options. Students have the option to take a Math Placement Screener to determine if they are ready for a high school level course as a 7th grader. When making the decision for the best placement of your child, it is important to consider that taking Math 1 as a 7th grader is 3 levels above grade level. If you are interested in having your rising 7th grader take the Math Placement Screener, you can find more information here.
