[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP here. Algebra 2 cannot be taken simultaneously with another math class (geometry, Precalc).

The more advanced girls who have gone through the MS math curriculum have two main options: 1) take Integrated Math in 9th and 10th grade; 2) place out of geometry, take Algebra 2 honors in 9th grade and Precalc honors in 10th grade. The two tracks “meet” again in 11th grade for Calc honors.

The new girls (who join HS) can get placed into Algebra 2 honors or even Precalc honors in 9th grade. [/quote]

NP. In practice, do we have a sense of whether these options are actually taken by the more advanced girls who went through the MS math curriculum?  Or are they usually taken by the new girls (who join HS) coming from public/magnet with potentially more advanced math coverage?

How does one "place out of geometry"? Genuinely asking to understand.

Do the Integrated Math courses in 9th and 10th grade go into the same depth as the independent Geometry Honors, Algebra Honors and Precalc Honors, but just covered in a more accelerated manner? Or are they the non-Honors version?
