[quote=Anonymous]My DD also really struggled in the intensified Alg 2 in 9th grade. Talk to your counselor, they were very helpful and DD moved to regular Alg 2 for the rest of the year. She still went on to take the DE Pre-Calc class in 10th and now in Calc AB as a junior. I'm not clear on the IB math paths but I know, however, that when my DS took AP Calc BC in 12th grade he said there were also IB students in the class. So, it's essentially the same class at that level just shows up differently on the transcript.  You could talk with the IB coordinator to understand the paths.

Watching my kids go through the higher math classes, I've definitely come around to a slower path for math is probably better. DD ended up OK in DE Pre-Calc (with a tutor) and we were proactive about setting up a tutor to help with Calc AB. In retrospect, especially with the challenges of covid, she probably would have been better off doing "Algebra 3" in 10th (the all DL year), which would have given her a more solid foundation before the pre-calculus class and she'd still get to calculus by 12th.
