[quote=Anonymous]My child didn't do it but has several friends that did. The problem is that you run out of HS math to take. At our school that puts them on the path to AP Calculus BC in 10th grade, Multivariable in 11th (not an AP FWIW), and for most an independent study through MIT in 12th. Some take AP Stat in 12th but most of the kids on the high track actually take AP Stat plus another math. It might be different if your DC goes on to Blair magnet and presumably has more math options. We are at a regular, although very competitive, HS. My sense of the kids who are on this track is that they are truly gifted at math. The kids who are just really good at math tended to take algebra in 7th, AP Calc in 11th and Multivariable in 12th. Keep in mind that colleges want 4 years of math in HS (not just 4 years of HS math). So stopping after AP Calc isn't really an option.[/quote]
