<p>@Mathyone Yes, my school district was like that. They have the last 2 years cut down on that though fortunately. My year there were 27 students who were in Algebra II/Trig Honors as freshman (3 people retook Algebra or Geometry), but this year I heard there were only 12. (The class 2 years below me) So fortunately they are being more strict about who they let into these classes.</p>
<p>On the flip side of that, I just did say how it’s possible to take Algebra 1 in 7th grade, not repeat any classes, and not take Calc in high school. But I’m curious to know how the math track in your district goes, because at my school, you can take Algebra 1 in 8th grade and still take AP Calculus as a Senior without doubling up.</p>
<p>The 2 year advanced math track usually goes like this</p>
<p>7th grade:Algebra I
8th grade:Geometry</p>
<p>9th grade: Algebra II/Trig Honors
10th grade: Pre Calc Honors
11th grade: AP Calculus (AB)
12th grade: AP Statistics and/or AP Calculus (BC)</p>
<p>The 1 year advanced math track would go like this (If the student takes Calculus, a lot of the students on this track take AP Stats instead if they don’t plan to major in anything math related)</p>
<p>7th grade: Math 7
8th grade: Algebra I</p>
<p>9th grade: Geometry
10th grade: Algebra II/Trig Honors
11th grade: Pre Calc Honors
12th grade: AP Calculus (AB)</p>
