[quote=Anonymous]In my experience, the advanced kids who are STEM-oriented are likely to take Algebra H in 7th grade, whereas the advanced kids who have broader interests in humanities/social sciences may opt to take it in 7th or 8th grade. It has less to do with what they are capable of right now, but more about the HS trajectory--7th grade algebra puts on track to take Calculus jr year. If you also want to do AP/IB level courses in history, literature, foreign language it can be a bit much. Plus you need to come up with another math class (often AP stats which is a good fit for these kids) sr year. So really either way is advanced enough for selective college admissions, more about where your kid wants to put their energy. I know for our schools, high school math classes go on HS GPA too--so you end up having courses you took in 7th and 8th grade affecting your HS GPA.[/quote]
