<p>Good point Wahoomb. It’s fairly normal in our school system to take algebra in 7th, geometry in 8th, precalc 9th, AP BC or AB calc, then this year my S is taking Mulivariable as DE. This is the “norm” for our particular HS/middle schools which are feeder schools to UVa (same for languages). To OP, that’s why I say it totally depends on your D school and what’s considered challenging for her. If these classes aren’t available to kids then it’s a complete other ball game. The above poster, Cool was saying that he/she didn’t have those classes in math or language. It’s’ not at all a big deal if those courses aren’t offered.</p>
