Secondary Acceleration (6-12)
Acceleration at the secondary level occurs with enrollment in the Integrated Math courses at middle school, and continues through Honors Algebra 2 in high school. Courses at the secondary level cannot be skipped or tested out of as each one builds on the next and contain the foundational skills needed to be successful in higher-level math courses.
For more information about the course available and the different pathways your student may select, please see the Math Pathways page.
Note
As students enroll in middle school they are given guidance on which courses they could select based on their current data. If a student wishes to enroll in Integrated Math 6/7 and does not meet the requirements, an online summer course, Ramp Up to 6/7, is offered. After successfully passing this course, students are able to enroll in Integrated Math 6/7.
The secondary math courses and prerequisites are outlined in the Rockwood Course Catalog.
The graduation requirement for math in Missouri is 3 credits of math. However, colleges and universities may require enrollment in 4 years of math during high school. It is important to know that once a student has completed the math courses that Rockwood offers, students and their parents are responsible for enrolling and fulfilling the transportation and financial obligations for the courses outside of Rockwood. Students should select these courses after careful consideration of the requirements from the post-secondary institution(s) they are interested in attending.
