High school will return to separate Algebra 1, Algebra 2 and Geometry courses

What happened

District leaders say Collingswood High School will end its integrated Algebra 1/Geometry sequence and return to separate Algebra 1, Algebra 2 and Geometry courses next school year. Students already in the two-year integrated sequence will finish it before the switch.

Why it matters to families

The change affects how high school students progress through core math courses; the district said it is ending the integrated model after reviewing results that did not meet expectations.

The evidence

At the October 26, 2026 meeting, a district administrator said the high school had already decided the previous spring to phase out the two-year integrated Algebra 1/Geometry program, explaining that results were not trending in the intended direction. The administrator said students already in the second year would complete the sequence and the school would return to the traditional Algebra 1, Algebra 2 and Geometry sequence next year. The meeting discussion did not include a new board vote on this change.
