DC has always scored in the top 1% on all math standardized tests and is now in 7th grade Algebra 1 intensified, and having a pretty easy time with it. Tried to do Art of Problem Solving self-paced, and just was not as beneficial since it was up to the kid to guide themselves through the material. Kids will not know the order of operations and other basics unless you supplement their math knowledge.
Our Elementary and now Middle schools in APS are pretty good, but we always knew we needed to supplement reading, writing, and math - the core subjects.
Order of operations is a 5th grade standard that APS students are taught.
