Speed of this class will be determined by abilities of students. Algebraic concepts are taught but may require more time for mastery of concepts. Because of this, students may not fulfill all conditions for High School Algebra requirement.
Advanced
Algebra I / 245-Above & Teacher Recommendation / 7th
8th / Standards for this course are same listed for Algebra I. Students enrolled in this course are expected to enroll into Honors Geometry the following year either at the appropriate middle school or McCracken County High School. Students will complete all conditions for High School Algebra requirements during the duration of this course.
Honors Geometry
(High School Credit) / 245-Above,
Completion of Algebra I Honors, &
Teacher Recommendation / 8th / Standards for this course are listed in the McCracken County High School Curriculum Guide. Completion of this course will result in credit for completion of Honors Geometry displayed on student’s High School transcript. This course is a credit-baring course so expectations are high and non-negotiable.
