Mathematics

Most Heschel Middle School students will complete an Algebra I program in eighth grade. Coursework is offered at four levels: 

• Enriched - This class completes an Algebra I course in seventh grade and a Geometry course in eighth grade, with the expectation that students will enroll in Algebra II in ninth grade. 

• Standard and Accelerated - These classes complete an Algebra I program in eighth grade. The accelerated class works at a faster pace with additional time for complex problem sets. Students who do well in these classes move on to 9th grade Geometry.

• Fundamental - This class completes a pre-algebra sequence, with the expectation that students will enroll in an Algebra I course in high school. This class is designed for students who need extra support in math.
