[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If a student does (not honors) Algebra 2, is there a path in which they can take AP Calculus (AB) later in high school?  [/quote]

In principle yes, but it depends on the school, some have honors classes as prerequisites for AP classes, yet another reason to stick to the honors path. [/quote]

Having to drop from honors to regular is never a good option.

On one hand if the honors material is too difficult, the next courses in the sequence are not going to be easy either, and it can wreck the GPA in addition to high school being a slog and a struggle.

On the other hand one can drop to regular, but the path is not most rigorous, the peers are not the motivated and well behaved, may cut off access to AP classes, and the student might still only manage to pull in a B.

I agree with doing your best to stay on the honors track, repeat the last course from middle school if possible, take summer school, hire tutors, outside support etc.[/quote]
