[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. I think my question wasn't clear.  DC is learning math outside of FCPS that is catered to his speed.  Given that, is there any good reasons for changing his FCPS track, given that he's already on the "max" track for high achieving students?  Like, removing honors Alg2 from his HS transcript may lower his WGPA? But it might free his Jr year up for another AP?  Are there other considerations that we are missing?

Others can weigh in but I responded just prior to your post.. if he's truly working on math on a different level than school (i.e math contest material, etc), it's not really very important whether he tries to switch tracks. If he's lucky enough to already love and be good at math, AND he's already motivating himself toward excelling in high level math contests such as the USAJMO, honestly school math will feel very boring by comparison. It's very, very difficult to do well at high level math contests without investing very significant chunks of time in training/solving problems. As such, worrying about AP courses is a distraction by comparison.. it's not really very relevant. Realistically, being overly busy with school classes would make it harder for him to find enough time to train/do more advanced math assuming that is what he wants to do.[/quote]
