Dear Montgomery Community,

Our goal for middle school math placement is for students to achieve at the highest levels of performance with success and confidence. All math courses are aligned to the New Jersey Student Learning Standards to ensure students are college and career ready. 

LMS and UMS continue to use a Formula Score for determining math placement.  The Formula Score is calculated as follows:

For a detailed scope & sequence of each course, please visit the Rubicon Atlas curriculum website.

By June, you will be able to view the recommended math placement for next year in Parent Resources.

If a student's Formula Score is between 87-89, teachers will reach out to parents by email with an option to waive their child into the accelerated class.  Please know that students who waive into an accelerated class may require extra time practicing and working with the math content next year.

We continue to commend our math teachers on their superior efforts in standards aligned differentiated instruction, data collection, and communication.  Please respect all of their work in these areas as it is important to us to have academic placements be the most successful.
