About
- When I started my freshman year at Lowell High School in San
- Francisco, I was able to take Geometry after passing the Math
- Validation Test. My parents had heard from a friend that Algebra was
- no longer being offered in 8th grade so their son was taking an
- Algebra class online, and I did the same. But I quickly realized I was
- lucky to have had this opportunity.
+ MathPathSF is a student-run organization dedicated to empowering
+ students to navigate math advancement within the San Francisco public
+ school district (SFUSD).
-
- Many of my new classmates who were interested in more challenging math
- courses were stressing out, meeting with their counselors and asking
- to double up in Algebra and Geometry even if it meant giving up band
- or a language class. But there weren’t enough spots for everyone. They
- didn’t know it was possible to pass out of Algebra in 8th grade and
- had never heard of the MVT test, or they found out too late to
- complete the class. Yet the kids who had come from private school were
- able to enroll in Geometry since they had had access to Algebra in 8th
- grade.
+ It was founded in 2021 to support students who were stressing out
+ about how to take Calculus before graduating high school. Each year,
+ freshman with this goal meet with their counselors and ask to double
+ up in Algebra and Geometry even if it means giving up a language class
+ or band, but most are not able to as there are not enough spots. Most
+ are also not aware that it is possible to pass out of Algebra by
+ taking an online class in eighth grade, yet kids who attended private
+ school are able to enroll in Geometry as freshmen since their schools
+ taught eighth-grade Algebra.
-
- While I definitely don’t think taking advanced math classes is
- necessary for everyone, I felt bad that kids who wanted to were at a
- disadvantage and had to scramble to figure out their options just
- because they didn’t have the information. This led me to the idea of a
- website to inform people about the different ways to advance in math
- and take Calculus in a SFUSD high school. I hope this site makes the
- process more transparent and easy to understand so students are aware
- of what’s possible and can decide what’s best for their education.
+ While we do not believe that taking advanced math classes is necessary

+
+
+ San Francisco public school eighth graders that wish to start high

+
+ . In 2023, the MVT will be held on May 13th and August 19th. Students
+ who don’t meet the cut-off score can retake the test in August. It
+ will be held at a SFUSD high school and students are assigned an
+ 8:30am or 9:00am start time. Students are given four hours to complete
+ the test though most finish in three hours.
