[quote=Anonymous]FCPS has Algebra in 6th grade, although the program has not been rolled out well and their selection process is highly questionable. Algebra 1 in 7th grade has been around for ages, about 15% of FCPS students took A1H in 7th grade. Kids take Calc in 11th grade, most will take BC and skip AB. They take multivariate calc and linear algebra in 12th grade. I think Algebra 1 in 8th grade is probably the right place for a good number of kids but you can go to college without Calculus, even top tier colleges, because most majors don’t require that level of math. Math is the one subject where I would 100% say you follow your kids lead and don’t push them too hard. It is ok to take Algebra in 9th but I think most kids are ready for it in 8th grade. [/quote]
