[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Clearly hundreds of AAP students have welcomed A1H in 6th grade option.  Those that were admitted into A1H but later find it too difficult, are they still forced to do it or can they request to switch back to something lighter? [/quote]

Once you start the acceleration, you cannot easily stop it.

If you select 6th grade A1H you can drop back to AAP math. THere is no regular Algebra class, that is not an option. You can chose to complete the year, expunge the grade and retake the class. Dropping down and retaking the class can be detrimental to a child who is used to being good at math and now has struggled. Parents can try and mitigate that but the likelihood of success is dependent on your kids personality. I know good kids who having loving parents who see the B hey got in A1H in 7th grade as being a bad grade and think they are not good at math.

If you select A1H in 7th grade you can drop back to M7H, there is no regular Algebra class for 7th graders. Or you can complete the class and expunge the grade to retake it.

Once you complete A1H and move to the next class in 6th or 7th grade you are on the honors path through Algebra 2, if you took A1H in 6th grade, or Geometry, if you took A1H in 7th grade. I believe that you can take Algebra 2 as a 9th grader.

If you are taking Algebra 2 as a 9th grader, then you probably take AP Precalc AB in 10th, Calc AB in 11th and can select AP stats  in 12th.
