[quote=Anonymous]OP, my son was a late bloomer and young in his grade. His schedule, slower to take Algebra 1, meant he had a very thorough understanding of Algebra 1 & 2 leaving high school. No problems having a choice of college acceptances, just not the most selective in our state. Going forward in college, he could have charted a course for any major. It just takes planning. And they have to want it. We didn't feel that any college major was out-of-reach, not because of high school. It's not really about the HS schedule, but it is about interest. Students do best, obviously, in subjects that interest them. Looking out for that possibility, that your DC may not be focused in that direction, seems realistic. I do know an engineer who graduated FCPS, highest HS math was pre-calc. He was accepted into engineering at an out-of-state flagship U. This was 10 yrs ago.[/quote]
