We absolutely hated being such pain in the ass parents about it in sixth grade but what math a kid takes in 6th grade in APS can very much affect what math track they are on throughout high school.[/quote]

A kid who takes 6th grade math in 6th grade can still take calculus by 12th grade. What exactly are you worried about?[/quote]

Didn't say it wasn't possible. That track, however, generally leads to pre calculus in 12th.[/quote]

To get calculus do they need to double up one year? Is summer school an option to "catch up"? 
[/quote]

Nope. Just stay on track. The default is Math 6, Math 7, Algebra, ending with Calculus AB in 12th grade. But if a kid takes Algebra intensified in 8th, s/he'll be on track for BC in 12th.

Kids can do this in middle school
