At the very least, it is a class that parents should make sure that their kids want to take and are prepared for the heavier work load. [/quote]
My question was in comparison to MCPS. PP said it is normal in MCPS for kids to do Algebra 1 in 7th grade.[/quote]

They said 7th or 8th.[/quote]

MCPS goal is to have kids take it by 8th grade:

https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/curriculum/math/keyfacts/

"Curriculum 2.0 expands access to higher-level math courses. 
MCPS designed C2.0 so that all students can reach Algebra 1 by Grade 8. The curriculum was intentionally designed to build a strong foundation in number sense in the earliest grades so that all students will be well prepared for the challenging courses in middle school that lead to Algebra 1 completion in Grade 8. Students who meet this goal will have the option to enroll in an AP mathematics course in high school. Even students who do not reach Algebra 1 in Grade 8 will still be able to complete Algebra 2 in high school, meeting one of the University System of Maryland entrance requirements."
