INFORMATION REGARDING MATH PLACEMENT FOR 9TH GRADERS
In determining student placement in mathematics courses for students entering grade 9, the Superintendent or designee shall assess whether each student has the prerequisite skills for success in the course and consider student and parent/guardian requests. Such determinations shall be based on multiple measures, including, but not limited to, the following:
- Interim and summative grade 8 mathematics assessments from the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress
- For students with disabilities, an alternate test or other measures when designated in a student's individualized education program (IEP)
- Other assessments such as Measures of Academic Progress, the readiness tests of the University of California's Mathematics Diagnosis Testing Project, and/or district benchmark assessments
- The student's grades in his/her previous mathematics course
- The final mathematics grade on the end-of-year report card
