[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We faced the same thing a few years back.

Options:

[b]1. Take a class over the summer at a private school(Landon offers one or has in the past) for non-credit. If you take Cal in HS, there is no official graduation requirement for Geometry- or that’s what I was told. [/b]
2. Take Geometry through MCPS over the summer.
3. See if you can take both Algebra 2/Geometry in the same year.
4. Accept that your daughter will be one year behind peers through 12th. It’s humbling but your daughter can still get to Cal BC as a senior.[/quote]

From the Code of Maryland 13A.03.02.03, B(3)  for students beginning 9th in 2021-22 or later, the requirement is:

[i]Mathematics — four credits, including one with instruction in algebra aligned with the Maryland Comprehensive Assessment for algebra or one or more credits in subsequent mathematics courses for which Algebra I is a prerequisite, and one with instruction in geometry aligned with the content standards for geometry[/i]

https://dsd.maryland.gov/regulations/Pages/13A.03.02.03.aspx

So, you can get out of Algebra 1 by taking something like Algebra 2 or Precalc or Calc, where Algebra 1 is a prerequisite, but you have to take Geometry as a HS credit course (whether in MS or HS).

Separately, acceptance to  a school in the University System of Maryland requires completion of 4 years of mathematics, which must include Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II. Students who complete Algebra II before their senior year must complete a senior year mathematics course that is intensive in algebra and expands on algebra foundations developed during Algebra II.[/quote]

Thanks PP.  My daughter started high school before this rule was imposed.[/quote]
