[quote=Anonymous]I can only speak to my area. In our public district, the kids start getting “tracked” into regular, accelerated, and double accelerated. It’s not super advanced… accelerated means algebra before high school, accelerated means algebra in 7th, with 8th and 9th being taken up by algebra II and geometry. Which means they barely reach Calc AB in 12th right? Anyway, privates vary when it comes to math. DD is in the top level for her grade, but in elementary school they all work out of the same textbook, and the levels correspond to how quickly you go through the material. I’m not sure how this approach leads to Algebra in 7th, unless you do more math outside of school. But we chose private for the reading and writing curriculum, and soft factors such as approach to discipline, emphasis on personal responsibility, and technology/phone policies. [/quote]
