[quote=Anonymous]My DD is currently a 7th grader at a school that goes through 8th grade and their math progression does not include geometry. However, the two private schools she is most likely to attend and our zoned public school build their curriculum around the expectation that the highest-level freshman have already taken geometry.

I have concerns about my DD's potential math track and what I'm hearing about college counselors checking/not checking the "highest rigor" course selection assessment on college applications. There is one set of summer geometry classes for middle school students in our area but she didn't get a spot from the lottery.

Has anyone dealt with a feeder school that didn't math a high school's math progression, and did it hurt you child's college applications? DD is objectively high-scoring as measured by things like SSAT scores, ERBs, WISC testing, etc., gets excellent grades, and seems to have a strong understanding of math, so this isn't an issue of not being ready for more math but rather not having access to it in middle school. I'm strongly considering enrolling her in some kind of online program but it's not clear to me if that will be taken into consideration by high schools when they're determining placement.[/quote]
