Placement Exams

MAP and Algebra Placement Test - all students

All incoming freshmen are asked to sit for our MAP Testing and Algebra exam on Saturday, May 14 from 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM. We ask that your student bring their iPad case (we have an approved case and other tech accessories in stock in our school store) to their training. Please refer to our iPad program for full details about approved cases and accessories.  

The math placement exam will allow us to get a better understanding of each student’s math skills and allow students to potentially test out of part or all of Algebra I. Students who test out of topics in the Algebra curriculum will be given a personalized scope and sequence which would only include those topics they need to prove mastery on. In addition, if they prove mastery on all of the Algebra content they will be placed in Geometry or a more advanced math course. You will receive placement exam results with your student’s schedule in early June and, at that time, we will send math summer school placement and registration information for those interested. If you have questions about the exam, please contact our Math Department Chair, Jordan Lewis, for more information.

Please review the course descriptions for Algebra I, Geometry, and other Mathematics courses.

Students who are currently taking Geometry in their 8th-grade year may choose to also sit for our Geometry exam in addition to our Algebra exam on May 19 at 3:00 PM. For this option, please contact our Math Department Chair, Jordan Lewis, by May 12.
