The Math department at Raney is dedicated to ensure that every student has a successful transition and is prepared for the next level in their math education.
There is a concerted effort to allow students to deeply understand math concepts. In the past students have learned many concepts on a basic level and now the focus is fewer concepts at a deeper level so that students will internalize these concepts and be able to apply them in many different circumstances. We have a Raney Math Channel on YouTube which we use to post videos that can support our students outside of school. Please CLICK on link: Raney Math Channel
