Two chances to move ahead in math
In the San Ramon Valley, the first chance to move ahead in math is a placement test in spring of 5th grade. Diablo Vista draws from Tassajara Hills, Creekside and parts of Sycamore Valley and Golden View, and we help 5th graders from each prepare for it. The second chance is the district’s summer program for 6th and 7th graders. To qualify, the district recommends an A or B in third-quarter math and strong state test scores, and other interested students can ask for a review. The course itself is online and self-paced: about 105 hours of work, finished by late July, with a score of 80 percent needed to pass. A tutor can work through the course with your student, explaining each unit and reviewing before each test.
