7th Grade Algebra Prognosis Test

It is that time of year again when all 7th graders will take the algebra prognosis test. The Orleans-Hanna Test is designed to help students find out how well they might learn algebra. It contains five lessons, each followed by a test. Finally, there is a review test that covers the lessons as well as other middle-school math content. The annual 7th grade prognosis test will take place on Thursday this week. To determine which students will be taking Algebra 1 next year staff will use the Orleans-Hanna Test results, NECAP and NWEA scores, grades in all classes this year and student work ethic. A letter will be sent home shortly to those students that will have the opportunity to be more challenged in Honors Algebra 1 next year in 8th grade.
If you have questions please contact Mr. Rice or Mr. Hixon at BMS.
