The advanced math classes provide both enrichment and acceleration of common core standards. The goal is for students to successfully complete Algebra 1 by the end of 8th grade and are prepared for advanced and honors classes in high school.
5th Grade Advanced Math - Eureka Grade 5 and Grade 6
6th Grade Advanced Math- Eureka Grade 6 and Grade 7
7th Grade Advanced Math- Eureka Grade 8

Honors Geometry (based on Algebra proficiency test taken in 7th Grade/Teacher Recommendation/MAP Data)
Advanced ELA goes beyond the regular curriculum with extended learning activities that require students to increase their use of critical thinking skills that include:
analysis
synthesis
problem solving
The curriculum focuses on using higher lexile text and themes.
Recognizing the need of a yearlong program of intense study, LJHS offers an advanced science class at the 7th and 8th grade levels. These classes move through the curriculum at a faster pace than a regular class, explore topics deeper and demand increased rigor. Students in advanced science are self-sufficient learners. Grade appropriate NGSS standards are met through advanced level science and engineering lessons and activities.
