Math Pathways - Ensuring Success

Comprehensive readiness is essential to academic achievement and is especially important when considering placement in an above-grade-level math class. The district relies on research-based guidance to determine, with some certainty, if a student will be able to maintain high levels of math achievement in an above grade-level setting and consistently demonstrate adequate academic growth on benchmark assessments following placement. 

 

Multiple Opportunities to Advance Academically - Jumping Pathways

Recognizing that students may develop the content knowledge, academic skills, behaviors, and learning strategies necessary for above-grade-level math instruction at different times, the district screens all students and evaluates potential candidates for above-grade-level math placement each year through the process known as “Jumping Pathways”. 

 

Math Pathways Flowchart

 

Advanced Learning Opportunities in Mathematics (ORC 3313.6032) - Ohio Revised Code requires that starting with the 2026-27 school year, school districts must offer advanced learning opportunities in mathematics to all students who earn a 5 or "advanced" score on the Ohio State Test (OST). These experiences must allow students the opportunity to take Algebra I as an 8th grader. Families also have the right to opt out of these opportunities.

Here is guidance from our Middle School Math Department to help keep families informed. 

In the Revere Local School District, students on this pathway will be provided enrichment and advanced learning opportunities during 4th and 5th grade during their I/E time. This is supported by the district's Gifted Coordinator and led by 4th and 5th grade math teachers. Starting in 6th grade, students who meet this criteria will be placed in the Accelerated Math 6/7 course and then the Accelerated Math 7/8 course as 7th graders. Students in these courses will take the 8th grade math Ohio State Test in the spring of 7th grade and then be enrolled in Algebra I as 8th graders. This Algebra I course earns high school credit. 

Please contact Bath Elementary School and Revere Middle School counselors and principals for specific rubrics for the Advanced pathway leading to Honors Geometry as 8th graders and for Jumping Pathways criteria. Students on this pathway are twice accelerated between 4th grade and 8th grade.
