All our middle schools offer advanced placement classes in math. In May, all 6th grade take a diagnostic math assessment called Algebra 1/Integrated Math 1 Readiness Test or MDTP. Results from the MDTP assessment AND the 2020 CAASPP math assessment assist in determining middle school math placement.

For incoming 7th graders, all middle schools offer Common Core Math 7 and Accelerated Math 7/8. Students' scoring at a mastery level qualify for advanced math class for 7th grade. Additional questions about the MDTP math assessment, or the district's set criteria for establishing math placement, can be directed to Mrs. Deborah Ashmore, Assistant Superintendent of Instruction. Her email address is dashmore@eesd.org
