[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would stay on current sequence. I know a lot of kids who don’t take honors level math because it gets really hard, and there’s a ton of work. So if he doesn’t like math, stick on the regular track. He’s already ahead anyway if he’s taking Alg 2 in 9th. [/quote]

Thanks, noted!
However my other worry is that there will probably be older kids in his class who got to algebra 2 late and aren’t exactly interested in math.
Or do schools usually not group “overachieving” 9th graders together with “underachieving” juniors for example?[/quote]

DD dropped down to regular level Algebra 2 in 9th and yes there were under achieving juniors in the class, but she was a star and it boosted her confidence so much. Now she is in pre calc and so many kids have dropped honors pre calc and are now in track. [/quote]

Thank you! Mine is the one who feels better “first in a village than second in Rome” so it might work well for him. 
He thinks he is one of the weaker students in his upper track math class (which may or may not be true).
