[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This year (7th grade) there are about 40-50 kids (out of 550+) who are in Algebra I.  Most of these kids did the summer math program.   These kids are on track to take Calculus in 11th grade. 
DCPS (Wilson) has the math programming to handle this.

Does Wilson have the programming? When I look at the DCPS online course bulletin (the latest available is 2017) there is no mention of a post-calculus option. Does Wilson offer multivariable/linear algebra in high school or do you have to take something else like statistics? [/quote]

I think they take statistics at Wilson or register for math at GW or AU. 
That said, my neighbor (math kid) is at GDS and is also taking math at a university because he's run out of their offerings so this isn't unusual. Unless you're at TJ or the magnet schools in Mont Co. a math kid who needs 
math above Calculus in 11th and/or 12th is in a very small cohort.

Also--I have a kid who who is headed for Wilson and one at a Big3 private and while the private's course catalog lists a bunch of advanced classes (in math, etc) they're not offered every year. 
Each year they're only offered (or not) based on student interest and many years they're not taught.   So don't go by what course catalogs say!!
