<p>Was your math placement for 9th grade based on something? The recommendation of your middle school, perhaps? Or placement testing?</p>
<p>The process of changing levels in math class always starts (and ends) within your high school. Start by talking to your teacher. But not on the first day of school! More like at the end of the first quarter.</p>
<p>You may be in the appropriate level math class for you. (Obviously, I don’t know you, so I wouldn’t know.) If so, that still doesn’t necessarily close off any occupation to you. Or you might be a suitable candidate for moving up. If so, you’ll be able to make your case better once you have a track record in your high school and the support if your math teacher.</p>
