Taylor, Donald Joseph – ProQuest LLC, 2011
In California, Algebra I is the 8th grade math content standard.

In response to the…

Across the country, official reports of high school students out of school do not always reflect the scope and extent of an urgent but neglected national education problem: The nation's graduation rate is in steady decline.
