[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What math courses do kids take if they take algebra I in 6th grade?[/quote]

7th: Geometry Honors
8th Algebra II Honors
9th Precalc Honors
10th AP Calc BC
11th Multivacalc and Matrix Algebra
12th AP Statistics

Unless they go to TJ or NOVA for more math options in 11/12th grade. [/quote]

This doesn't get you anywhere new.  My DC took Algebra I Honors in 7th and took AP Stats as an elective sophomore year and will take Multi and Matrix his senrio year.  So taking Algebra I in 6th doesn't buy you anything but bragging rights.  He is not unusual.[/quote]

It does. You can't take AP Physics C in Junior year without having done Calc in Sophomore.[/quote]

Not true.  AP Physics C needs AP Calc [i]concurrently[/i]. Plus, you need Physics Honors or AP Physics I as a prerequisite and that is not available until junior year. (Not talking about TJ)  So, in reality you can only take AP Physics C senior year and can take BC Calc senior year- concurrently. You don't have to take Algebra I Honrs in 7th grade to be able to take AP Physics C in HS.  Oldest did it last year.  [/quote]
