[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As noted up thread, if you double up precalculus with statistics, he’ll run out of classes in high school even assuming availability of double enrollment at the community college. He might still be ok if some computer science classes can be counted as math, as they often are, but the OP should check the available options.

It sounds like OP is confident in her kid’s math abilities, but I’d make sure the child can handle both precalculus (AP or honors) and AP statistics at the same time, especially since this will be his first year of high school. There are some measures like MAP in the 265-270 range, or even Khan Academy score above 90% in Algebra 1, 2 and Geometry. Don’t rely on grades alone because it could backfire, teachers and assessments vary wildly across schools. There’s nothing worse than acceleration with gaps left behind and bombing classes because the student moved too fast when he could have slowed down a bit to master the fundamentals and excel.

I’m pretty confident in his math abilities.  He has always been highly gifted in math.  [b]He scored 99th percentile on his Algebra II Map assessment at the beginning of the year.[/b]  He also had As in Honors Algebra I and Honors Geometry as well as passed advanced on the SOLs.[/quote]

That’s very unlikely, if that’s true, based on the Map Algebra 2 statistics he’d be the best  8th grader in math in the district, Mathcounts state winner, AIME qualifier level etc.

Your exaggerations give off some extreme tiger parenting vibes.[/quote]
