Eighth Graders Passing Algebra I
The graph displays the percentage of 8th graders passing Algebra I. Learn More
Algebra I is described as a gateway course because students typically need to pass Algebra I before moving on to high level math and science courses. A typical math course sequence would start with Algebra I and continue with Geometry, Algebra II, Pre-Calculus, and Calculus. Students who pass Algebra I in 8th grade will likely have the opportunity to take Calculus before they graduate – a prerequisite for college STEM majors and careers.
