Challenges: Georgetown ISD Computer Science Prerequisite for 1st Course (Computer Science I) is Algebra I
Many 9th graders not completed Algebra I, cannot enroll in CS I until 10th grade GISD students cannot earn for LOTE credit
Opted to add Game Programming and Design in 2015-2016, requested by students Not offering AP Computer Science Principles in its first year (2016-2017)
College Board presenters said at CSTA: ‘It’s not a 9th grade course’
