My kid failed math in 9th grade so he needs to do the last semester over. How is a 3 week summer school class going to replace half a year’s learning?

Seems like it is impossibly difficult or a complete joke.

It’s a LOT. For an “easy” class, like Health, it is just time-consuming. (My older child took health in summer school a few years ago and my younger will do so this summer.) For a challenging class, it’s very difficult. My younger child took honors Precalculus last summer and worked their tail off. It was a ton of complicated content and moved very quickly. They managed an A but it wasn’t easy.

It would be hard. Use the free tutoring.

If your kid already has some knowledge of Algebra, then the shortened summer course should not be too hard.

Get a tutor over the summer, too. Sounds like your kid needs a lot of help.
