The Texas Legislature passed Senate Bill 2124, which automatically enrolls incoming 6th graders in advanced mathematics courses based on objective data measures (Texas Education Agency, 2023). Prior to this legislation, student enrollment in middle school advanced courses was primarily determined by teacher or counselor recommendation (Richman, 2023). Beginning in the 2024-2025 school year, Texas school districts implemented Senate Bill 2124. To determine eligibility, districts identify fifth grade students who scored in the 60th percentile on the state assessment or perform in the top 40% on a local measure and automatically enroll those students in an advanced mathematics course for the sixth grade.
