What this document actually says
This May 2026 presentation reports on Reed Union's Math 7C accelerated program and middle school math pathway changes. The district moved to 100% of students in Math 7C (now being renamed Math 7/8) rather than splitting students between regular Math 7 and accelerated tracks. By 2026-27, the goal is 60% of students in Algebra by 8th grade, up from 41% in 2022-23. The presentation shows MAP test growth data across grades 6-8, describes support interventions including IXL and targeted instruction, and reports that 57% of Reed graduates at Redwood High School are taking advanced math classes with an average 3.66 GPA. Math 8 is being rebranded as Pre-Algebra with new curriculum.
What this means for your family
All 7th graders now take the accelerated Math 7/8 course, eliminating tracking. Students receive additional support through targeted interventions and customized learning plans. More students are on track for Algebra by 8th grade, which can lead to advanced math opportunities in high school. Course names are changing to better reflect content: Math 6 becomes Math 6/7, Math 7C becomes Math 7/8, and Math 8 becomes Pre-Algebra.
