I'd be on the phone with a good tutor, twice a week to tackle science and math. Likely some SERIOUS gaps in the education, perhaps from previous years, i.e. algebra 1.[/quote]

No.

You are wrong.

This kid is taking English 11.  I assume this means the kid is in 11th grade?

Other than physics, there are no advanced classes on this list. No APs.  No honors classes.

And the kid is taking Algebra 2 as an 11th grader.

Algebra 2 is taken in 8th around here if you are exceptionally gifted in math, 9th if you are advanced in math, and 10th if you are average in math.

OPs daughter is taking it in 11th, which puts her behind in math to start with. On top of that, she is making a C.

She might just be a hard working kid who struggles in school. Or she might have a learning disability.

Hours with a tutor might not be what she needs. She might not cut out for math and might have to steer her college goals into other areas where her strengths are.[/quote]

Kids are in Algebra 2 in 11th grade UNLESS they took Algebra early - 8th grade as opposed to 9th grade.  Being in Precal in 12th grade is what used to be normal.
