[quote=Anonymous]The reality is that a little more than 70% of all FCPS kids take Algebra I in 8th grade or earlier. So, even though your child is in Catholic school (not FCPS), he will be competing against kids in FCPS (if you are in Va) where kids have much stronger math resum[/code]és when they apply to college. I have no doubt that there are other state schools (not in VA) that will be willing to admit him with only pre-calc (for eng./comsci). But, I wouldn't expect him to be admitted to the engineering/computer college until he shows he can do calculus (even if that is first year of college). He can get the degree eventually. FWIW, it may be possible for your child to do geometry over the summer and then move to Alg. II in the fall of sophomore year. If he isn't interested in engineering/comsci (not everyone has to do those types of majors), it doesn't matter if he does calculus. [/quote]
