Geometry Readiness
The Geometry Path is new for our Rising 6th graders (current 5th grade). If your student would like to pursue the Geometry Path, they need to take the Geometry Readiness Assessment. The assessment results will be combined with 5th grade Math STAAR results to determine placement in the Geometry Math Path. Parents will be informed of placement the week of August 13th.
