Math Placement Testing for Incoming Freshmen, Class of 2013
Posted June 2nd, 2009 in HS Special Events, High School Comments Off
Welcome Class of 2013 to Western Christian High School!
Please reserve the following date:
Saturday, June 13th, 2009 9:00am
All new freshmen took the readiness for Algebra test prior to admission into Western Christian High School as part of the application process. This score was used as an assessment in determining acceptance into Western Christian High School. The test that is being offered on June 13th is an actual placement test for students who wish to enter Geometry (or Algebra 2) for their 9th grade year.
The results of this test in combination with Algebra 1 semester grades during the 8th grade year will be used to determine the appropriate math class for 9th grade students.
Our desire is to place all students in a position to succeed in math throughout their entire high school career.
This test is for students who wish to take Geometry (or Algebra 2) their freshman year. If a student is currently in Pre-Algebra, there is no need to take the placement testing.
If you cannot attend this testing date or have any questions, please contact our registrar Nancy Spencer at nspencer@westernchristian.org or call (626) 967-0733 ext 116.
- If it is determined that a student should not go into Geometry their 9th grade year, he or she may attend the 2nd semester of Algebra 1 summer school (July 13-30) and if they earn a grade of “C” or better will be allowed to take Geometry in the fall.
Summer School Algebra (1st & 2nd semester):
- Summer School will be taking place at the High School’s current location in Covina. Students may attend/repeat first and second semester of Algebra 1 in summer school and if they earn a grade of “C” or better (for each semester) will be allowed to take Geometry in the fall. Special note: A grade of “D” or “F” for first semester of Algebra 1 is not acceptable for college; therefore, these students should take both semesters during summer school.
A flier listing summer school course offerings can be found online here. SUMMER SCHOOL APPLICATIONS ARE AVAILABLE IN THE OFFICE.
The staff and administration welcome you to the Western Christian High School Family and look forward to an outstanding 2009-2010 school year.
