Welcome! Boynton and DeWitt middle schools have both transitioned to a heterogeneous math model in grades 6 and 7. We offer Algebra I and Math 8 for students in grade 8. Below are resources to support students and families as they make decisions about 8th grade. 

On March 22, 2021, educators held a family session to explore the path ahead and take questions.

All course options, grades 6-8:

All learning standards are important in 7th grade math, and there are some which we’ve identified as “priority” standards for 7th grade to help us determine who would be a good fit for Algebra I in 8th grade.

If an 8th grader would like to take Algebra I in 8th grade, they will need to take a companion course to ensure that they have solid foundations in 8th grade concepts. Here are the options for when to take this companion course:

• Summer

• During the school day

• Before school

• After school

• Never because the student tested out

These are the learning standards that will be addressed in the companion course:
