@Mom2Girls2 : surely there are at least 24 kids who could be in Math1honors?
See with the PTA and coordinate with the ptas from the other middle schools. If enough parents request (and plan to go to the district if need be) there can be action but you need to act quickly.
This could have an impact on the students’ ability to get into STEM programs down the road, and even selective college (calculus won’t be expected if the HS doesn’t offer it -although once in college with kids who took calculus honors or AB all these students without it will be at a disadvantage. However stem programs and most top 60 Universities will expect honors classes in core subjects, especially math and English.)
