In OH you need Gov and Econ to graduate. DD’s high school didn’t offer a 9th grade history course and the sequence was Euro in 10th (AP or regular), US in 11th (AP or regular), and then Gov/Econ (Dual credit or regular, no AP option) senior year. It didn’t seem like she was penalized at all in the college application process.
In my SD (NY), all kids take a world history class that covers through the Middle Ages/Renaissance. There is no honors level and AP World is not offered at our school. In 10th grade, kids take either AP Euro or a second year of world history through the present. A Regents exam is taken by all students after 10th grade. 11th grade is APUSH or regular US history (no honors classes are offered at all in the history department). A second regents is required at this point. Gov/Econ is required and many kids take one semester of each. We also offer AP US Gov (which satisfies gov but not econ), AP Micro and Macro and regular economics, plus AP Comparative World Govt. Electives are offered in WWII and Civil War History and these are one semester. I seem to recall that my middle son, who took the AP Econ classes, along with AP Comp gov, did not have to take a US gov class.
For all of California, pretty sure the minimum requirement is 3 full years of social sciences. Some school districts spell out the specific classes - World History, US History, US Govt/Economics.
The UC system is even less stringent - 1 year of world history, and either one year of USH or 1/2 USH and 1/2 USG.
Yep. Our district is one year of world or Euro, one year of USH, one semester each of econ and US gov.
Everyone in our district takes World History I (9), World History 2 or AP World (10), US History or APUSH (11) and US Gov, AP Gov or AP Comp Gov (12). You can’t substitute AP Euro or Human Geo. for any of those, and you can’t take anything out of order.
I have no idea if you are allowed to take them out of order but I have never heard of anyone other than a freshman taking HUG, anyone other than a sophomore taking AP Euro, or anyone other than a junior taking APUSH.
There is no “order.” The individual school/district sets the corse progression.
While that’s the most common, APHG and APUSH is often taken by sophomores and AOEuro is often a senior elective.

I meant I don’t know if our school lets kids take them out of that order. At our school it is ALWAYS HUG/Euro?APUSH in that order.
And I can legit use “our” in this forum without being a helicopter parent. 
D20’s school requires four years of social sciences: Econ/Civics in 9th, World History in 10th (AP or regular), US History in 11th (AP or regular) and one additional credit to be chosen from a plethora. AP Art History falls under arts and has art prerequisites.
They have 8 class periods, so plenty of time to take both Civics and PE freshman year (and art if you want).
