• LISD Pathway 2 Placement Process - Current 5th and 6th-grade on level math students will be reviewed for Pathway 2 math placement in the spring semester. If your student is recommended for Pathway 2 placement, you will be notified by the school, and your student's counselor will update your student's schedule for the upcoming school year. Please note that current 5th graders will be reviewed by their elementary school, and current CRMS 6th graders will be reviewed by CRMS. 

  • Pathway 2 for 6th graders would be a Math 6/7 course in 6th grade

  • Pathway 2 for 7th graders would be a Math 7/8 course in 7th grade 

• Exam For Acceleration - Students in on-level 7th grade math, on-level 8th grade math, or students already in an accelerated math class can utilize this route for acceleration. Exam for Acceleration allows students to demonstrate mastery of content/skills through an exam so that they may advance to the next level or course. 

• Extra Acceleration - In LISD, Pathway 2 math is considered a single accelerated math course. This track means students will take Algebra I for high school credit during their 8th grade year. Students who wish to accelerate further would take an exam for acceleration (EA). This pathway means these students will be on track to take Geometry for high school credit during their 8th grade year.

• Decelerating from Algebra 1 - Details and logistics provided here if your student is currently taking Algebra I and you would like information about dropping a level so your student can take Math 8 again. 

• High school courses & GPA - Information about how credits are received and what appears on a student's transcript when high school credits are earned at the middle school level.
