The Middle School Credit portion on page four of the policy is revised based on recent discussions with middle school principals. The proposed change is due to the fact there are inconsistencies between the "High School Ready" NWEA norms in Math and Reading as compared to the current policy. Currently, the policy identifies the RIT score of 235 for an eighth-grader to be eligible to take Algebra I during middle school. However, NWEA identifies the RIT score of 243 as the current indicator for High School Ready. The draft does not have a specific number but a minimum score since national norms are updated every two years by NWEA. This will allow the policy to adapt to national assessment norm changes.
