If a child is in Critical Inquiry do they automatically qualify for the LA/SS 7/8 acceleration, or is additional testing required?
Since Critical Inquiry is an honors reading class–not an advanced level social studies and language arts program–students in Critical Inquiry do not automatically qualify for the ELA/SS 7/8 Acceleration Program. Students taking Critical Inquiry would need to be evaluated and qualify for the ELA/SS 7/8 Acceleration Program in order to be enrolled in the Program. In the evaluation process, the grades for students enrolled in Critical Inquiry are weighted to reflect the challenging nature of the course.
