Abstract: Students who are ready for advanced math opportunities in middle school should have access to those classes. Too often, those placements are based on what teachers and staff see in the classroom instead of an objective, standardized measurement of mathematical ability. When schools use a placement system backed by test scores, highly capable students who might otherwise be overlooked gain the access they need to higher level classes. ExcelinEd's "Guaranteed Access to Advanced Math Model Policy" provides the framework to make that happen. Data presented in this report from Texas illustrates that automatic, readiness-based placement policies dramatically expand access to math, especially for historically-underserved students.
