<p>My school only has one “track” and you test out of classes based on performance in elementary/middle school. It goes like this:</p>
<p>6th and 7th grade: math. It’s entitled based on grade level (6th grade math. . .)
8th grade: pre-algebra
9th grade: Algebra 1
10th grade: Geometry
11: Algebra II
12: Trigonometry
Other: AB Calc. AB and BC</p>
<p>I tested out of 6th grade and 8th grade math, so I’m on the most advanced “track”, which is really just the same track only extended. We don’t have any honors or anything, just regular class, but I wish we had more opportunity/options.</p>

<p>For our school about 20 kids get into algebra I in 7th grade and take geometry in 8th grade, etc. and about 40 kids get into algebra I in 8th grade, so depending what year you start high school math, it goes:</p>
<p>1) algebra i
2) geometry
3) algebra ii
4) pre-calc
5) AP Calc AB and/or AP Stats</p>
<p>1-3 have both honors and non-honors level, and instead of precalc you could take trig & stats, but you couldn’t go onto Calc from there.</p>
<p>Our high school math track starts in the 7th grade, but it is very low compared to most of yours because we are an extremely small school. We also do a lot of seperation.</p>
<p>7th Grade: Pre-Algebra | (Don’t know what the lower one is called)
8th Grade: Algebra I | Pre-Algebra
9th Grade: Accelerated Geometry | Accelerated Algebra I | Algebra I
10th Grade: Honors Algebra II | Accelerated Geometry | Geometry
11th Grade: Honors PreCalculus | Algebra III / Trigonometry | Honors Algebra II | Algebra II | IAG (Intermediate Algebra and Geometry)
12th Grade: AP Calculus AB | Honors PreCalculus | Algebra III / Trigonometry | Algebra II</p>
<p>As for me I am in Honors Algebra II this year. I basically know PreCalculus, so I am self-studying AP Calculus AB and taking the test this may. My Junior year I am going to take Calculus II and Multivariable through a local private institution. My senior I will take Differential Equations and Linear Algebra. (A lot more motivated than any other kids at my school.)</p>
<p>Normal Path (honors or college prep):
Freshman: Geometry
Sophomore: Algebra II and Algebra III
Junior: Precalculus
Senior: Technically calculus (honors or AB), but many take statistics (not AP) or “college review math” which is a joke.</p>
<p>Accelerated:
Freshman: Enriched Geometry
Sophomore: Enriched Algebra II/III and Enriched Precalculus
Junior: Calculus BC (or AB) (and you can’t get credit for both, it’s either one or the other. I’ve seen some schools that would let you take BC after AB)
Senior: The only thing really left is AP Stat, or drop to a lower level, or something like computer programming</p>
<p>But of course there are some kids who are even more advanced than that. When I was in Enriched Algebra II/III there was an 8th grader in my class, who then went on to take Enriched Precalculus the next semester. Now as a freshman, he is in BC. There was someone else in my grade who did that and is actually no longer in my grade and is graduating a year early.
I wish I knew how you could do that. Not that I would consider myself that smart, but I remember being REALLY bored in middle school math. I probably could’ve skipped a year.</p>
<p>My path was a mixture:
Freshman: Honors Geometry
Sophomore: Enriched Algebra II/III, Honors Precalculus
Junior: AP Calculus AB
Senior: AP Statistics</p>
<p>For the Advanced:
9th Alg II
10th Math Analysis
11th Calc A/B
12th Calc B/C or Stats
Math is my strongest subject, but because my middle school only went up to Alg I, I had to take Geometry 9th grade and that put me back one year. I still took honors classes for each of the ones I have taken so far, and I will take AP calc A/B my senior year</p>
<p>In our school district, 8th Grade Algebra or 8th grade math is the start of the track. If you do great in 8th Grade Algebra, it is:
9th Honors Geometry
10th Honors Algebra II
11th Honors Pre-Calc
12th Honors Calculus (with options for AP or dual enrollment for higher levels)</p>
<p>If kids don’t do well in 8th Grade algebra, pretty much it is downhill from there. Very hard to move up into the honors track again.</p>
<p>This isn’t like super common but a few kids in my high school who are freshmen take all of those honors classes over the summer then take ap calc bc as a freshmen. Then diff eq/ calc 3 as a sophomore.</p>
<p>For students successfully completing Algebra 1 & Geometry in Middle School:</p>
<p>9th Grade: Algebra 2
10th Grade: Trigonometry/Pre-Calculus
11th Grade: AP Calculus AB and/or AP Statistics
12th Grade: AP Calculus AB, AP Statistics, Advanced Algebra, or Early College Math</p>
<p>Well, the kids here take Algebra I 7th grade, Geometry 8th grade, and then self-study or otherwise learn Algebra II over the summer before taking AB in the freshman year. PreCal is linked with AB, so it’s all in one course. They can then go take Multivariable, Differential Equations, and Linear Algebra. Some people even take topography. Mathematical theory and whatnot are nifty, too.</p>
<p>Man, my school (and especially district) sucks. I’m a senior now and I’m only in BC, and to get there I had to skip 2 years of math. Most seniors at my school only take stats or precalc.</p>
