Math placement for Willow students
Las Virgenes sets each student's 6th-grade math level (Math 6, Math 6 High or Math 6 Accelerated) with a placement test at the end of 5th grade and teacher referrals, and publishes no score cutoffs (LVUSD). District 5th graders take the test in their own 5th-grade math class (Lindero Canyon dates), and the Las Virgenes placement guide explains the levels. Thousand Acorns Tutoring does not offer placement exam prep.

Subjects that fit Willow students
Willow's intervention specialist and counselor work with students during the school day. Tutoring is a separate choice families make for after school, at home or online. For 5th graders, LVUSD's math placement test at the end of the year sets the 6th-grade level, so elementary math in 4th and 5th grade covers the ground it draws on, and reading and phonics and writing cover the literacy standards.
