Registration for 6th Grade Math Placement Test 2026

Dear Parents of 5th grade students:

 As we start to look ahead to next year, we would like to offer your child the opportunity to take a placement test for the advanced pathway in mathematics in middle school. If you haven't already done so, you may find it helpful to visit our district website for information about the math pathways by clicking this link:

 The chart below succinctly summarizes the progression of all three pathways:

Despite the rigor of the advanced pathway, we do recognize that some of our students who excel in math and have innate mathematical abilities are capable of skipping sixth grade math and taking a seventh grade/eighth grade math course as a sixth grader (Math 7.5). Obviously, they would be missing an entire year's worth of learning by skipping 6th grade, so it's a decision that should not be taken lightly. Please remember that there is another opportunity for students for an accelerated pathway at the end of 6th grade, as described above If the advanced pathway is not an option for your child, the accelerated option could still work for your child at the end of 6th grade.

We will offer three opportunities for your child to take the math placement test (only register for one date, please). The first opportunity is Tuesday, April 28th, at Camerado Springs Middle School in Room 4, 3:30-4:45 PM. The second opportunity is on Wednesday, April 29th, at Valley View Charter Montessori in the STEAM Room, 2:30-3:45 PM. The third opportunity is on Thursday, April 30th, at Rolling Hills Middle School, students meet at the Amphitheater,3:30-4:45 PM.

We plan to notify parents via email of their child’s placement on the advanced track by the end of the school year.
