[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, what did your school say when you mentioned this "plan" to them? What did your child say? [/quote]
DC is in accelerated mathematics at the moment and requested this while planning for future courses. DH and I were not part of the planning process, nor did we come up with this. Currently doing some research. I understand that my mentioning one class made people fixated on this, but mathematics is not the only course in question. My question is also general. Whether he should take it is not my question. If it works out, great. If not, that's fine too. If anyone knows of places that take rising sophomores rather than juniors, I'd appreciate it. If no one knows, that's totally fine. [/quote]

But OP - are you not interested in the non-college options people have provided you? Or are you set on colleges? (If so why??)

The HS courses seem more appropriate for your child. You are more likely to find Algebra II with decent rigor and full content at a highly regarded DMV private school or in a strong public school system (MOCO, FCPS) than at a 4 year selective college (Again, the reasoning being: a college course in Algebra II is likely to be very watered down and geared toward low skilled math students. Very few students attending selective colleges have only gotten to Geometry by their senior year in HS).
