A kid taking Algebra I for the first time in 9th grade is not necessarily an "average" math student.  And a kid taking Algebra in 6th grade is not necessarily a math whiz.

Sometimes, really smart kids get stuck on a track that leads to Algebra 1 in ninth grade through no fault of their own. That happens a lot at small religious schools, crappy hippie-ass Montessori or Waldorf schools that don't teach worth a damn (been there, done that), and schools in poor areas that don't send a lot of kids to four-year colleges (or any college at all).

Having said that, Any kid taking Algebra 1 in sixth grade is either several standard deviations above the mean or has parents who fell off into the farthest reaches of the deep end of the tiger-mom pool.

Algebra 2 in 8th grade is actually not that advanced. A student who takes Algebra 2 in 8th grade is above average, but not necessarily college material.
