[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At our regular MCPS HS 2 years ahead is the norm, 3 years is not out of the ordinary. [/quote]
As I read MCPS guides -- http://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/uploadedFiles/curriculum/math/pathways/MathPathways-English.pdf -- the MCPS norm is maxing out in 12th grade at Precalculus or Algebra 2.[/quote]
Maybe thats the norm for on level kids.  [u]At our non magnet HS probably half the kids take algebra 2 in 9th and precalc in 10th.[/u] Another group is a year ahead of that. [/quote]
What school is that?  And if half the school is taking precalc in 10th, how big is the group taking precalc in 9th?[/quote]

A W school.  Of course these are all kids under the old math acceleration program.  The 9th grade precalc group is small as those are the kids who had to take Alg 2 at the high school in 8th grade.  Maybe 15 kids?  That group seems to be kids who are truly math stars, not kids whose parents pushed them, or who get tutoring to keep up.
