Students entering grades one through eight who meet specific eligibility criteria may accelerate in math beyond their enrolled grade level. Because the acceleration process involves "skipping" classroom instruction for a grade level or course, students must demonstrate mastery of the math content for which s/he will not receive formal classroom instruction. Mastery is determined by meeting the district criterion on a state-approved exam chosen by the district. A student must score at least a 90 percent or higher on the state-approved exam for the grade level math course/grade to be skipped.
