1. Literally every math professor will tell you many kids simply have to mature a bit more to “get” math. It’s common. Sure there are kids who keep pace through high school, and there are kids who mature into it during college.

2. GPA is far more important than taking high school advanced courses.





And it is more important to take math courses that your kid is ready for, so they can build a strong foundation. Rather than being rushed/pushed ahead and not fully learning concepts.

If you cannot get a B or better in Algebra 1, you really need to retake it in summer school to build strong foundations for future math courses and science courses (ie chemistry)


What matters most is a strong foundation.
