[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What high school expects all kids to take geometry in 8th grade?  That seems unrealistic. [/quote]
Yeah, I think the schools have been misrepresented to OP. No HS expects all or even most kids to take geometry in 8th.

Our k-8 did offer geometry, and between a fifth and a third of the 8th graders took it in any given year (grade size averaging about 30-35 kids). It’s not *uncommon*, but it’s not the norm, either. [/quote]

OP. I didn’t say that the Hs expects all entering freshman to have taken geometry, but rather that those who enter having not taken it have been warned by the college counseling office that their courseload won’t be categorized as highest possible rigor on their college applications. [b]This matters at a private school since students are being compared by colleges to their classmates first and the rest of applicants after that.[/b][/quote]

This is correct. Only way I can see that you can figure this out is to ask the school directly, as well as what the options are for kids in your situation (presumably your kid is not the first).[/quote]
