[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are new to MCPS and my daughter is a freshman at Churchill. I know I can ask this of her counselor but I want to do a little research and get some feedback from other parents before I do so.

My daughter loves science and, as of now, would like a career involved in a science-y field (perhaps earth science or chemistry etc). She's not very math-oriented, however - not a big fan so she isn't going to take AP Calculus, for instance. Does anyone know of a resource that might provide some guidance? I noticed a math track document online but didn't see one for other fields.

If your child is interested in science fields but perhaps not super "in" to math itself, can you share what courses they took?

Thanks very much![/quote]

What sort of career in chemistry without AP calculus? Lab assistant tech?

Math tracks are mostly locked in by 9th grade. Algebra, geom, algebra 2, precalculus, then calculus (stem and adjacent) or stats (humanities and social studies)

What class is she in now? Algebra 1? Geometry?
