"Algebra will return to S.F. middle schools after more than a decade. Here’s how it could play out

Algebra I will officially be back in San Francisco middle schools next year, much to the relief of parents who’ve fought for a decade to bring it back, although they might not be as happy with how the course will be offered.

District officials have narrowed down the possible ways it would be offered to three options, based on pilot programs in the schools last year.

The first would allow eighth grade students to take the course as an elective, but they would still be required to take Math 8 at the same time.

The second option is to offer Algebra I as an alternative to Math 8 for students who meet certain academic criteria.

The third is requiring Algebra I for all students, who would skip Math 8 and get extra help if needed."
