9th Grade Math Placement
Senate Bill 359 requires school districts to develop, establish, and implement fair, objective and transparent mathematics placement policies that consider multiple objective measures as the basis for placement and permit multiple checkpoints to assess placement accuracy and student progress, especially at the start of the academic year.
SV Middle School 8th graders will take the Math 1 or Math 2 Placement exam in the Spring.
Parents will receive notification of high school placement after results are processed.
Parents may request a meeting with staff to discuss placement and provide additional information for consideration.
