    • Double acceleration is typically reserved for students in the top 5% of math performance.
    • Students must meet the following criteria to qualify for double acceleration:

     

    • >575on 7th grade SOL
    • >95% on 7th grade SGA
    • >95% on Unit Test Average in 7th grade

    **A parent or teacher must request a student to be assessed for entry into the above scenario pathway

  • Students who do not show suggested mastery of math standards, or struggle during the school year, may be taken off their pathway to ensure their success in a more appropriate setting.

    DMMS asks parents to carefully consider the maturity and math readiness of their child before requesting their child be double accelerated.
