Middle School Math Pathway Infomation – Roseville City School District

What is the Accelerated Math Pathway?

Roseville City School District (RCSD) recognizes that some students can progress in their mathematical learning at a faster pace. In recognition of this, and in accordance with the RCSD Accelerated Math Pathway Criteria, some students are given the opportunity to accelerate their mathematics coursework starting in 7th grade. Students in the Accelerated Math Pathway cover three years of math in 7th and 8th grade. If students do not enter the Accelerated Math Pathway in middle school, they can still access the higher-level math courses in high school.

RCSD Math Pathway Options
Math Pathway Options	6th Grade	7th Grade	8th Grade
College and Career Math Pathway	Math 6	Math 7	Math 8
Accelerated Pathway	Math 6	Math 7+ ½ Math 8	Math 8 + Integrated Math 1

The Accelerated Pathway is extremely rigorous, and students must demonstrate continued academic success in these courses throughout the school year as a condition for continued enrollment in the Accelerated sequences and entrance into Integrated Math 2 entering 9th grade. The Roseville Joint Union High School District math course pathway is linked below.
