[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Joined tj from aps where geometry is highest level math. Dc is in algebra 2 and will do preface bc next year.  he is locked out from physics and all higher math courses until he finishes calc bc in junior year. 
Other kids on this path- does this effectively prevent you from being in the top percentiles at tj ( assuming grades are maintenance) He is not allowed to take summer courses as well.

About 65% or 2/3rd of the class starts in Algebra 2, around 15% start in Precalculus, and the remaining 20% start in Geometry. Most students follow the path of Algebra 2 in freshman year, Precalc BC in sophomore year, and Calc BC in junior year, and a good number take Multivariable/Linear in senior year.

Starting this year's class, thanks to the new principal, anyone can take physics in sophomore year alongside precalc or higher math. The older path of taking Physics C alongside Calc BC in junior (now allowed in sophomore year) is still available.   The highest level of physics is Quantum & Electrodynamics, an elective now available for both juniors and seniors.

Why is HN Chemistry a prerequisite for Physics 1? Math as prereq is common, but what chemistry concepts are required to learn basic physics mechanics topics?[/quote]
