Mathematics is taught in grades pre-kindergarten through eighth with emphasis on understanding concepts, learning basic facts, using computation skills efficiently, and selecting and applying appropriate problem-solving skills. Seventh grade students are taught at three levels: basic course two math for those students requiring a small class with more individual attention from the teacher, standard course two math, and first year pre-algebra for the above average student. Eighth grade students are taught at two levels: first year pre-algebra or algebra for the students of above average proficiency levels.
