[quote=Anonymous]Don't stress about it. The point of going to one of these schools is to get the best possible education for your individual child. Trust your teachers. At our big 3/4/5 high school, very few students take algebra in 9th grade, but they are taking it then for good reasons. The teachers are making a judgement about your child's math skills. If you think your child can catch up, tutoring can help, but it is very difficult to make up a whole course level. Our school actively discourages summer courses, but one of the big 3/4/5 offers summer classes for this purpose. If your child is a very strong humanities/arts oriented student, it will not make a difference for college admissions even at the very top tier schools. No Ivy insists on likely English or history majors taking BC calculus. [/quote]
