Please help m, I cant take calculas in high school

Only a small number of colleges require or recommend calculus in high school for admission:

If you do take calculus in high school, whether you have to retake it in college depends on how you do on a placement test (including AP, IB HL, and/or a college’s own placement test).

If you really do want to reach calculus in high school after starting in algebra 1 in 9th grade, the main practical way to do it in a traditionally-sequenced math curriculum is to double up geometry and algebra 2 in 10th grade. However, if your school includes trigonometry in algebra 2, that may not be possible if geometry is a prerequisite for algebra 2.
