<p>Hello, Lowell class of 2030 families,</p><p>We have received some questions about whether or not a student should choose to repeat Algebra 1 at Lowell if they took it in Middle School or over the summer. I apologize if our messaging caused confusion. Hopefully this can explain the situation more clearly.</p><p>Any student who receives a grade of C or higher in both semesters of Algebra 1 has met the requirement. These students are not required to take Algebra 1 again in High School… but they MAY if they want to. The decision is totally up to the student and the student's family.</p><p>It is important to make sure that the class you took or are planning to take is certified by UC to satisfy the High School Algebra requirement. You can check on this website: <a href="https://hs-articulation.ucop.edu/agcourselist">https://hs-articulation.ucop.edu/agcourselist</a> </p><p>We are aware that there may be students who did pass Algebra 1 but experienced it to be challenging, perhaps got a grade of C in one or both semesters, and are unsure about whether they are prepared to do well in Algebra 2 right away. These students have the option to take Algebra 1 again as 9th-graders and receive credit for the class.</p><p>If you are not sure whether or not you are prepared to do well in Algebra 2, and are wondering whether it is a good option for you to sign up for Algebra 1 even though you already took and passed both semesters, our math department has created a short sample "test" that you can take yourself to see how you do. The test represents the most important concepts and skills from Algebra 1 that prepare students to do well in Algebra 2. I have linked the test and the answer key to the test below.</p><p>This test is just a tool for you to use to help you make your decision. Please DO NOT send us the results of your test! The only qualification you need to take Algebra 2 in 9th-grade is passing grades in both semesters of Algebra 1. We want to let you know that if you are anxious about taking Algebra 2 because of your experience taking Algebra 1, you are not REQUIRED to jump straight to Algebra 2… the option to take Algebra 1 again is available.</p><p>Here are links to the diagnostic test and the answer key: </p><p><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GmZvJWDqEU23x8W_be3pHkYOvd0jVrpV/view?usp=sharing">https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GmZvJWDqEU23x8W_be3pHkYOvd0jVrpV/view?usp=sharing</a></p><p><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_PmYsmUmwcwq6CIzyEbzyPHM2WcAwTKZ/view?usp=sharing">https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_PmYsmUmwcwq6CIzyEbzyPHM2WcAwTKZ/view?usp=sharing</a></p><p>Best regards,</p><p>Assistant Principal McDonell</p><p> </p>
