Alabama HB353 creates an Advanced Math Pathway for K-12 students to prepare them for Algebra I in middle school and college credit-bearing math.

Alabama HB353 mandates local school districts to develop an Advanced Math Pathway, a sequence of courses designed to accelerate or combine content from different grade levels, culminating in Algebra I in middle school and college credit-bearing math courses in high school. Students who score proficient or at grade level or higher on the statewide annual end-of-year math assessment in grades five through 11 will be automatically enrolled in this pathway. Parents and guardians can opt their children into or out of advanced math courses.
