In the month of April, a Pre-Algebra Readiness Test is administered once to all San Rafael 5th graders to determine whether a student should be enrolled in the on-level 6th grade math course or if they are ready to skip a year of mathematics instruction and jump straight into Pre-Algebra.  To qualify to take Pre-Algebra as a 6th grader, the student must score 90% or higher on the Pre-Algebra readiness test.  At the end of a student's 6th grade year, a parent can request that a student enrolled in Math 6 take the Algebra Readiness Test. If the student scores 90% or higher, they would skip Pre-Algebra and be enrolled in Algebra.
