You can then take Algebra II in 8th grade and in HS you are ready to take any of the many courses that have Algebra II as a prerequisite in 9th grade: AP CS, AP Stats, Physics I, AP Chem, for instance, and many others. If you delay Geometry, you're pushing those courses into your sophomore year or later, which in turn pushes back courses like AP Physics C, leaving you[b] no room to take actual university courses in your junior/senior year.[/b][/quote]

Again, WHAT IS THE RUSH!?[/quote]

Profile for admission to elite colleges.[/quote]

Or stressed out student on anti-depressant.

That's what we're trying to avoid by putting our kids in classes that aren't mind numbingly boring. [/quote]

Disengaged and learning to dislike school.[/quote]

Skipping Algebra I and/or taking it over the summer is not a solution to that.  Nor do any public schools allow that.[/quote]

Not in DC area anymore, but our public school does.  There is a standard state test you can take if you want to test out.  I will say, I haven’t heard of anyone asking for it bc most kids in our district can’t even pass grade level math.  But our principal said it was an option for us when it was clear my child already knew all the material. [/quote]
